“The Layer 7 highlighted that customers desire a slim and light item. Please think about it (S Pen elimination) as a compromise where you shed one if you select one. We are likewise investigating and creating thinner and cutting-edge innovations for the S Pen, so we will certainly reevaluate it when the degree of excellence rises and there is customer need,” Kang clarified.
