Earlier rumors talking about the lack of S-Pen support for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 ended up being true when Samsung’s second foldable flagship became official. However, lack of support for the stylus doesn’t mean the Korean giant wasn’t aggressively testing out the feature on the premium foldable handset. The tipster Chun has now shown a Galaxy Z Fold 2 prototype that reveals some of the S-Pen’s functions. Unfortunately, no consumer will be able to get their hands on it.

According to the image shared by Chun, the alleged Galaxy Z Fold 2 prototype has S-Pen support because if you look at the bottom, there are several pen and marker icons provided, possibly to allow users to change the thickness of the font when using the S-Pen to take down notes or simply use it for scribbling. One possible reason why the S-Pen isn’t supported on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is that the foldable flagship doesn’t have a durable enough glass.
