Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t disappoint you by ditching the S Pen
Ice Universe recently posted a picture that reveals and suggests the S Pen won’t be going anywhere in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Of course, the chances of Samsung bringing back Bluetooth support for the S Pen are slim to none. Still, the good news is that we probably won’t have to give up the S Pen just to see Samsung break new records for thinness. That’s despite Samsung making all three phones thinner.
This follows an internal source informing us that Samsung plans to trim the thickness across the Galaxy S26 series. But the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t sacrifice the S Pen to achieve that. As a reminder, the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra will measure 6.7mm, 5.5mm, and 7.8mm, respectively. These figures also line up with other leaks from trusted sources.
In addition, some earlier reports have suggested that Samsung may have redesigned the S Pen, changing how stylus input works on Galaxy devices. The new system reportedly does not require the usual digitizer. As you may have guessed, removing this layer might’ve allowed Samsung to make its phones thinner. At the same time, creating extra space inside for new features.
