Samsung Electronics applied to the European Union for the “Z Flip” trademark on May 6, 2021. This application fall in the Category 9 classification and its description reads “smartphones, tablets, protective cases, electronic pens, capacitive stylus”. As we all know, the next model in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series will most likely be Galaxy Z Flip 3. This foldable smartphone is expected to launch later this year. In addition, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3 have passed 3C certification. From the certification, it is almost certain that the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 will support S Pen.
However, so far, there has not been any report that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 will also support S Pen. Well, the validity period of EU trademarks can be up to ten years. Thus, it is safe to speculate that future Galaxy Flip smartphones will support the S Pen feature. That is if the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 does not support this feature.
