The Samsung Galaxy S21 is rumored to support the S Pen, and now Samsung has confirmed this possibility

In a letter from Samsung Electronics President TM Roh about what to expect in 2021, the company "has paid attention to the aspects of the Galaxy Note experience people like and is excited to add some of its most beloved features to other devices in our lineup"

It stated

This seems to be shorthand for the S Pen, as it is the only noticeable feature on the Galaxy Note 20 and other Note devices; the Galaxy S21 Ultra may need a special case to hold the stylus, but it is the first outside the Note lineup to support the S Pen It is said to be the first Samsung phone to do so But it looks like the Ultra won't be the only one

From Roh's statements and other leaked information, the S Pen is expected to work with at least one of the new foldable phones Samsung will announce in 2021, likely the Galaxy Z Fold 3 The ability to take notes, write, and sketch on a larger canvas will be attractive to power users

Samsung revealed more in its sneak peek, including that it plans to expand its portfolio of foldable phones and make the category more "accessible"

That's great, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2's list price of $1,999 puts it out of reach of most shoppers The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G starts at $1,449 However, both devices are discounted in various sales

The cameras on Samsung's phones outperform the iPhone 12 Pro and Google Pixel 5 in zoom capabilities, but overall image quality is a step behind the best camera phones Therefore, it is good that Roh said, "We should expect super-intelligent, professional-grade camera and video capabilities in 2021"

In his letter, Roh previews some of these camera features" Whether you prefer to edit footage like a pro or simply want an intelligent, multitasking lens to do the heavy lifting for you, the Samsung Galaxy will be more than ready to meet the demands of the video-obsessed in 2021" We can only hope that video does not take a back seat to photo quality

Last but not least, Samsung is investing more in Ultra Sideband (UWB), which it says will be able to do everything from opening doors to enabling integrated car experiences And in a nod to what will likely be the Galaxy Smart Tag (Samsung's answer to Apple's AirTags), the company says it will "make it easier to quickly find the things that matter most, from keys to wallets and even the family pet"
