A newly discovered patent hints that Samsung may finally be exploring magnetic S Pen storage for future Galaxy foldable phones, specifically the TriFold.

According to a patent spotted by David from xleaks7, Samsung is experimenting with a Galaxy Z TriFold-like design that includes a dedicated internal magnetic compartment for the S Pen.

Samsung foldable fans have been chasing one feature for years: a properly built-in S Pen slot. The patent confirms that Galaxy users should be hopeful for stylus support in the future foldable models, but not too early.

The magnetic stylus solution that Samsung patented earlier would reportedly stay in place using magnets and charge while docked inside the phone, very similar to how the system works on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The patent describes a TriFold device with a dedicated cavity inside the chassis where the S Pen could slide in and recharge. Instead of relying purely on friction or clips, Samsung appears to be considering magnets to secure the stylus in place.

To create enough internal space for the stylus, Samsung would reportedly narrow down the left section of the folding display. Meanwhile, that is the kind of trade-off Samsung engineers probably wrestle with every day when designing foldables.

Recent rumors have suggested Samsung wants the next-gen Galaxy Z TriFold to become thinner and lighter than the original model. But fitting an internal S Pen storage system into a thinner body sounds almost contradictory.
