As early as June 30, there are reports that said the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is going to flaunt an S Pen support, saying that the upcoming foldable flagship is "almost guaranteed" to do just that.

The speculation back then was anchored from the announcement of the Customer Experience Strategy of Samsung, Tae Kim, teasing that the South Korean company is "bringing the S Pen to even more flagship devices soon!"

However, this time around, the information for the FCC filing is more specific and concrete than before.

According to TechRadar, the filing revealed details of the S Pen Pro, alongside a list of the devices the stylus supports. And notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G is included in the catalog of handhelds.

The foldable smartphone joined the list of devices that have already sported an older version of the S Pen in the past, such as the Samsung Note 20 Lite, Note 20, Note 20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, Tab S7 Plus, Tab S7 FE, and Tab S6.

Notably, the listing did not mention any upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 21 smartphone, only the present version of the Note series graced the list. Thus, it could then hint once again that the South Korean phone maker is skipping its release for 2021.

Another FCC filing also suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is supporting Samsung Pay.

Meanwhile, a separate filing revealed that the Galaxy Watch 4, Watch Active 4 is launching in August.
