After the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has already appeared in an apparently official promo image, NieuweMobiel has now published a photo of the new Samsung S Pen that will ship with the next-generation flagship phone. The S Pen has essentially the same shape as the one that comes with the Galaxy S25 Ultra (from $1,049 on Amazon), but the stylus will only be offered in black and white this time around.
Only the button on the rear end will be color-matched to the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s frame and will therefore come in silver, light blue, purple, or black. With this color lineup, Samsung is simplifying the S Pen even further after removing its Bluetooth connectivity last year, which previously made it possible to use the S Pen as a camera remote, among other things. Meanwhile, leaker Ice Universe has obtained information about the planned production volume for the Samsung Galaxy S26 series.
Accordingly, Samsung wants to produce 3.6 million Galaxy S26 Ultras during the launch window, but only 700,000 Galaxy S26 and 600,000 Galaxy S26 Plus units. If these numbers are correct, nearly three quarters of the total production volume would be allocated to the flagship smartphone. In other words, Samsung expects the most expensive device in the series to sell best, at least initially. On the one hand, that could be based on the rumor that the Galaxy S26 Ultra might get cheaper, while some variants of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus could get a price hike in certain markets. On the other hand, features like the intriguing privacy display are likely exclusive to the Ultra model. Either way, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series will be officially unveiled on February 25.
Since 2009 I have written for different publications with a focus on consumer electronics. I joined the Notebookcheck news team in 2018 and have combined my many years of experience with laptops and smartphones with my lifelong passion for technology to create informative content for our readers about new developments in this sphere.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
