Importance of S Pen
The S Pen is a name given by Samsung. Essentially, it is a stylus pen that enables users to interact with touchscreen displays. By using the S Pen, users can significantly increase their productivity, which is the biggest plus point of having an S Pen.

While we have discussed the advantages of the S Pen, its value lies in having a device that supports it. If you are considering purchasing the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the following details will be important for you to know.
Does Galaxy Z Fold 5 have a Built-In S Pen?
The answer is No, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 does not come with a built-in S Pen, and there is no dedicated space to attach the S Pen. Therefore, if you wish to use an S Pen with the device, you will need to purchase one separately, as it is not included in the box. For more details on what’s included in the box, please refer to our story.
It makes sense not to include the S Pen in the device itself, as doing so could make the device thicker and the display smaller. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 also did not come with the S Pen. However, Samsung should consider including the S Pen at least in the box, so users don’t have to pay extra for it, especially since they are already paying a premium for the device. Without the S Pen, users would miss out on half of the features that the Galaxy Z Fold offers.
Many may not mind paying extra for the S Pen after investing a significant amount in the device itself. However, those who have barely saved enough money to experience a foldable phone will have to save more to fully experience the foldable phone by buying the S Pen.

Along with Galaxy Z Fold 5 Samsung also introduces some new cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 which includes designated space for S Pen.
