An ultra-thin Galaxy Z Fold 7 rival with stylus support is on the way

Samsung dropped stylus support on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in pursuit of a thinner design, but an upcoming foldable promises to deliver both.

While Samsung may have deprioritized stylus support across its lineup, dropping key S Pen features from last year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra and removing stylus support altogether from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, another brand is heading in the opposite direction. Oppo has started teasing its upcoming foldable phone, the Find N6, and its latest teaser confirms stylus support despite the device’s ultra-thin design.

Shortly after releasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year, Samsung revealed that it dropped stylus support due to two key factors: low usage and design constraints. The company noted that not enough people were using the S Pen with its flagship foldables, and that achieving a thinner, creaseless design on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 required removing the digitizer layer that enables stylus support.

Oppo, however, appears to be taking a different approach. The company recently shared a teaser for the upcoming Find N6 on X, showcasing its design and revealing a few key details, including stylus support. Overall, the Find N6 closely resembles the Find N5, featuring a large circular camera island on the back panel with Hasselblad branding.

The variant shown in the teaser sports a bright orange finish paired with a gold metal chassis. Oppo also revealed that the device will open completely flat, feature a creaseless display, pack a 200MP Hasselblad ultra-clear camera, and, most notably, support the Oppo AI Pen. In a previous post, the company confirmed that the device will be available in two colorways: the showcased Blossom Orange and a silver finish called Stellar Titanium.

On its website, the company has revealed additional details about the stylus support, confirming that the Oppo AI Pen will be sold separately and will require a compatible phone case for charging. Oppo has yet to reveal all of the stylus’ supported features. More details are expected when the company officially launches the Find N6 on March 17.
