Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 still skips the S Pen, and that's getting harder to ignore

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra without S Pen support.

The change continues what began with the Z Fold 7, leaving the Fold lineup without a built-in stylus feature.

That removes one of the Fold’s key productivity advantages, even as Samsung pushes Galaxy AI and Gemini Intelligence.

The result is a bigger gap between the phone’s AI-first marketing and its real-world productivity tools.
