Earlier rumors suggested Samsung (005930) would ditch its traditional home button and navigation keys on the Galaxy S IV, and that it may also include an integrated S Pen stylus. According to a new report from Korean publication Digital Daily, this will not be the case. The company is said to have decided to keep the home button in a last-minute decision and also ruled that the S Pen stylus will remain unique to the Galaxy Note line of devices.
