A last-minute leak suggests Samsung will drop S Pen support from the Galaxy Z Fold 7


Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked is less than a day away, but a last-minute deluge of pre-release information from WinFuture’s Roland Quandt has detailed essentially everything we can expect from the company on July 9. The leak follows Monday’s reveal from Quandt when he shared what appeared to be official spec sheets for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE. To those, Quandt added today what look like per-release marketing materials obtained directly from Samsung.

In a Bluesky post spotted by The Verge, Quandt notes none of the materials highlight the inclusion of S Pen support on the Z Fold 7. With previous Z Fold devices, Samsung sold a separate stylus people could buy and store in a specially designed cases for the foldable.

Quandt also shared images and the specs of Samsung’s new wearables for 2025. Starting with the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, it appears the company has redesigned them so they share the same squircle form factor as last year’s Watch Ultra. At the same time, it looks like Samsung has made the two smartwatches 11 percent thinner and upgraded the AMOLED display on both so that it can offer 3,000 nits of brightness in sunny conditions. The Watch 8 Classic may offer a handful of additional upgrades, including 64GB of storage and a larger 445mAh battery. As for the new Ultra, it will reportedly come with 64GB of base storage.

Engadget will live blog the Galaxy Unpacked event, so be sure to tune in tomorrow starting 10AM ET.
