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.

UPS just left WITH the ZFold7. I rejected the order and instead just ordered a new case for my ZFold6. It will again probably be my last Samsung purchase, sadly. And also contacted my credit card and sent them proof of rejecting the shipment in case Samsung tries to give me an additional issues. Good luck to those who are choosing not to upgrade and those who do.

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
