Wacom’s Pen Technology Powers the S Pen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6

August 9, 2024 (Tokyo, Japan) – Wacom Co, Ltd., announced that its unique digital pen technology has been adopted by Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Z Fold6. Leveraging its most versatile and flexible form factor, the Galaxy Z Fold6 opens the next frontier of Galaxy AI and enables you to evolve the way you work, play, and stay informed.

Wacom’s digital pen technology has been used for the S Pen of Galaxy devices since 2011, and the S Pen (sold separately) for the Galaxy Z Fold6 helps users execute pen functions such as taking notes and drawing as well as managing a variety of contents and functions including slide operation during presentations and the self-timer when taking selfies.

The Galaxy Z Fold6 offers a range of AI-powered features and tools that maximize the large foldable screen. Note Assist*1 on Samsung Notes offers translation, summaries, and auto-formatting for simple and easy meeting notes. Plus, a newly embedded transcript feature enables transcription, translation and summarizing of voice recordings directly in Notes. Texts in PDF files can be translated and overlaid perfectly through the PDF overlay translation feature in Notes*2.

Also, the All-new Sketch to image*3 allows you to create more sophisticated art pieces by generating image options when you simply sketch or draw on the photos in Gallery or Note screen.
