An ultra-thin Galaxy Z Fold 7 rival with stylus support is on the way

Samsung dropped stylus support on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in pursuit of a thinner design, but an upcoming foldable promises to deliver both.

While Samsung may have deprioritized stylus support across its lineup, dropping key S Pen features from last year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra and removing stylus support altogether from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, another brand is heading in the opposite direction. Oppo has started teasing its upcoming foldable phone, the Find N6, and its latest teaser confirms stylus support despite the device’s ultra-thin design.

Shortly after releasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year, Samsung revealed that it dropped stylus support due to two key factors: low usage and design constraints. The company noted that not enough people were using the S Pen with its flagship foldables, and that achieving a thinner, creaseless design on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 required removing the digitizer layer that enables stylus support.

Oppo, however, appears to be taking a different approach. The company recently shared a teaser for the upcoming Find N6 on X, showcasing its design and revealing a few key details, including stylus support. Overall, the Find N6 closely resembles the Find N5, featuring a large circular camera island on the back panel with Hasselblad branding.

The variant shown in the teaser sports a bright orange finish paired with a gold metal chassis. Oppo also revealed that the device will open completely flat, feature a creaseless display, pack a 200MP Hasselblad ultra-clear camera, and, most notably, support the Oppo AI Pen. In a previous post, the company confirmed that the device will be available in two colorways: the showcased Blossom Orange and a silver finish called Stellar Titanium.

On its website, the company has revealed additional details about the stylus support, confirming that the Oppo AI Pen will be sold separately and will require a compatible phone case for charging. Oppo has yet to reveal all of the stylus’ supported features. More details are expected when the company officially launches the Find N6 on March 17.

I let this Galaxy S26 feature handle my battery, and it actually works
Galaxy S26 on a table

I have never been particularly good at managing my phone’s battery health. I know all the advice by now — avoid charging past 80 percent, do not let the battery drain completely, try not to leave the phone plugged in overnight. I know these habits the same way I know I should probably drink more water or sleep earlier. In theory, they make perfect sense. In practice, I rarely stick to them consistently.

So when I started using the Galaxy S26 and realized that Device Care’s optimization features were quietly handling a lot of this for me, my first reaction was skepticism. Phones have offered “smart” protection tools for years now, and most of them tend to disappear into the background after you switch them on once. Half the time, I forget those settings even exist. This felt different, though. Not because it was flashy or constantly reminding me it was there, but because I could actually feel it adapting to how I used my phone, rather than forcing me to change my habits around it.
