I am cruious as to how well the spen works on the fold. I am currently trying the s24u and I really like navigating around the phone with the spen. However I really miss that big beautiful fold screen lol.

I have fallen in love with the fold 5, more than I thought. Just a week of not using it and I really want to put my sim back in it and return the s24u. I really like the spen especially for jigsaw puzzle games and coloring in penup. I am cautious and don't want to damage the inner screen.

I know the spen for the fold is designed to not damage the screen. I still have my concerns. Has anyone experienced any issues with the spen on the fold 5?

No damage for me. I will say that the crease does effect the usage for me. When gliding across the screen it sometimes jumps the Spen and loses contact to the screen. I have to push a little harder going over the screen.

I had a "screen" injury and subsequently found out by a technician at the Samsung Experience Store and he clarified about the 2mm dead pixel spot in the crease!

I do use the S-pen quite a bit and after about a years usage developed a 2mm dead pixel along the crease. The technician looked at it and where the dead pixel was located, there was a tiny dent, so small you'd have to look hard. And it was determined it was caused by a hard tap using the s-pen.

Luckily they did a warranty case and I got a new hinge and screen. Otherwise it would cost 800$ for an out of warranty screen replacement.

I was also told that warranties are better handled in store when you have Samsung's device warranty. I do have my carriers version of device protection, Rogers wireless!
