Because of a brand new leak, we all know the place it may very well be saved: in an exterior folio case fitted across the S21 Extremely.
Housing the S Pen in a case isn’t essentially the most elegant answer, nevertheless it retains the stylus useful with no need to drastically redesign the S21 Extremely – after which it might, nicely, appear to be a Notice cellphone.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Extremely is getting is getting an non-obligatory S Pen, making the Galaxy Notice collection kinda out of date. This is your first official have a look at the brand new Stylus and the way Samsung will allow you to carry it alongside within the official Clear View and Silicone Covers: https://t.co/HtAuyoVrfiJanuary 4, 2021

The brand new leaked pictures of the instances account for the S Pen’s absence: like with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and Tab S7 tablets, the stylus may simply be slid into the case for straightforward transport. Not as elegant because the Notice collection, however a serviceable answer, particularly for the sorts of energy customers who can afford an S21 Extremely’s probably very excessive pricetag.
Nonetheless, it’s not completely clear why the S21 and S21 Plus couldn’t even be suitable with the S Pen, although there was apparently sufficient of a {hardware} distinction that the Notice 20’s 26ms stylus latency isn’t as superior because the Note 20 Ultra’s 9ms.
