Samsung Patent Application Suggests Galaxy Z TriFold 2 Could Launch With an S-Pen Housed Inside Its Hinge

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold was launched by the South Korean tech conglomerate as its first two-fold smartphone. The handset was on sale in select global markets initially, including South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE, and the US, in a single Crafted Black colourway. Nearly three months after its debut, the tech giant reportedly halted the sales of the Galaxy Z TriFold, taking the foldable off shelves. Now, a patent document suggests that the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2 could ship with a dedicated slot for a stylus.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2 Design (Expected)

A patent document (via Saskaitu Israsymas and @xleaks7) gives us some clues about potential upgrades to the purported Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2. The document suggests that the rumoured Galaxy Z TriFold 2 could ship with a dedicated slot for the S-Pen stylus, placed in the middle of the right hinge of the handset. When unfolded, the stylus could appear between the right and middle flaps.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2 design spotted in leaked patent document

Based on the leaked patent filing, the leaker has published a purported render of the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold 2. The handset is shown to feature a centred hole punch display cutout on the right flap of the foldable screen, which could feature a camera for selfies and video calls. Moreover, it appears in a purple colourway. However, it is worth noting that the leaker shared the conceptual design of the handset. Hence, the final product, if it is ever launched, could look different.

This comes soon after a report highlighted that the tech giant is taking the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold off shelves, concluding its sales in global markets three months after its debut in December 2025. To recap, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold sports a 10-inch QXGA+ (2,160x1,584 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with 269 ppi pixel density, up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness, and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
