The S Pen would eventually become available on more devices

One of the biggest upgrades the Galaxy S21 lineup received is the support for the S Pen, the accessory which has until now been exclusive to the Galaxy Note series.

For Samsung, this is an upgrade that certainly makes sense, as it’s believed the company is planning to kill off this device, so bringing the S Pen to the Galaxy S21 is something that would help fill the gap if this phablet gets the ax.

But as it turns out, Samsung actually wants to bring the S Pen to more devices in its lineup, though for the time being, no specifics have been sharing. But it’ll certainly be interesting to see if the company is exploring S Pen support on its more affordable devices, as such an approach could make the stylus a more widely adopted accessory overall.

“We are committed to innovating new mobile experiences that flow seamlessly and continuously to make our consumers’ lives easier and better. We’ve made the bold decision to expand the S Pen experience to Galaxy S21 Ultra, and plan to expand the S Pen experience across additional device categories in the future. We remain committed to providing the best mobile experience to our consumers and will continue to actively listen and consider consumer feedback in our product innovation,” TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics, said.

So there you go, the Note may not be here to say, but the S Pen certainly is. For the time being, it’s very clear Samsung wants to remain mysterious on its plans, but the upcoming Note21 could be the last model that ever sees the daylight. We’ll hear more about the future of the Note series as we approach the debut of the next generation.
