Hey. I pre-ordered the new Z Fold 7 before realizing that it does not support the s-pen anymore. I contemplated canceling the pre-order but popped by a Samsung Experience Store and saw the dang thing in person and now I'm torn. I use my s-pen often (like now typing this). So I'm wondering if folks have suggestions for s-pen alternatives or basically passive/capacitive styluses that could work well? 

And please I am only looking for suggestions and help. I get that some folks don't care about the s-pen and yes, I'm aware I don't need to upgrade. Thanks.

Any normal stylus that has the rubber tip should work with the Z Fold7

They are 100's of stylus it's hard to recommend just one. I have 3 that I purchased from Walmart that works great on my A model tablets and should work excellent on the Fold 7 these are the ones I use all the time

But how can a stylus work if there is no digitizer in the device. Do you know for a fact that there is a pen that would work on the Fold7? Please don't give folks false hopes and major disappointment.

Thanks! That’s actually reassuring to hear. I figured there had to be a few good alternatives out there, even if they can’t match the full s-pen feature set.

The user above me mentioned the rubber stylus. you should get those if you don't care about the features that comes with the S pen.

Will the capacitive passive stylus be able to be useful on z fold 7 since you are able to write with your finger and the notes app will still be on the device.

You should be able to use any stylus that has a rubber tip on the new Z Fold 7
