[Poll Results!] Were you hoping to see an S Pen on the Galaxy Fold?

Unfurled, the Galaxy Fold has a massive 7.3-inch AMOLED screen, which is the ideal surface for an S Pen. But Samsung decided against bundling one with the handset. In fact, there's no hardware or software on board that would allow it to work, even if you snagged a replacement S Pen from the firm's website for $29.99 — and that's something that's frustrating fans all over the world.

With that in mind, we'd love to know whether you were hoping to see an S Pen on the Galaxy Fold. I, for one, was. Being able to open the handset to scribble down some notes using the stylus would have taken productivity to a whole new level. Although, given Samsung is working on two new foldable smartphones, it's something we could see introduced on a successor in the near future.

To have your say, cast a vote in the poll below, then feel free to elaborate on your response in the comments section if you’re feeling talkative — we’d really love it if you did as we love nothing more than jumping into an insightful conversation with our fantastic audience. After you've done that, be sure to check out our in-depth hands-on with the Galaxy Fold for our initial impressions.

Were you hoping to see an S Pen on the Galaxy Fold?

Results: Well, that was to be expected. More than 50% of voters agree that the Galaxy Fold would have been much more attractive if it had an S Pen on board. I mean, the thought of being able to scribble on such a large screen — when the handset eventually hits the shelves, that is — has me salivating. A mere 14% of voters, however, said they wouldn't find such a feature useful.
