TL;DR<\/p>\n
New industry rumor suggests Samsung may not radically change the S Pen on the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
\nAfter initial planning, Samsung may not switch to a slimmer digitizer-less display on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, as it did with the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
\nWhile that means S Pen support stays, it may also hinder Samsung from adding internal magnets for wireless charging.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the launch of the Galaxy S26 series last month, Samsung confirmed it wasn\u2019t going to relinquish the S Pen<\/a> on its Ultra devices. Instead of removing S Pen support from the upcoming Ultra phone, as it did with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year, Samsung hinted at plans to develop new technology that would allow the upcoming phones to be slimmed down while retaining stylus input. Although that set the premise for support being added to the Galaxy S27 Ultra<\/a>, expected to come next year, Samsung could potentially take longer.<\/p>\n According to a recent report by Korea\u2019s ET News<\/a>, Samsung may have postponed its plans to revamp the display for the Galaxy S27 Ultra. It had supposedly planned to develop a new display without a digitizer, which detects stylus input, in order to make the display slimmer, which, in turn, would allow making the upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra slimmer. However, after recently reviewing its plans, Samsung has reportedly dropped the idea for the upcoming generation.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Sources cited by ET News also affirmed that Samsung does not plan to remove S Pen support from the Galaxy S27 Ultra. It was further reported that the plans were dropped due to lukewarm interest in slimmer phones. While the Galaxy S26 Ultra is already slimmed down to 7.9mm this year, Samsung seemingly saw no incentive to shrink it further.<\/p>\n The report further adds that Samsung may review the requirement for a digitizer in conjunction with internal magnets for wireless charging. While the report does not explicitly say this, the inclusion of a digitizer layer could suggest that Samsung may skip internal magnets for one more generation as the magnetic field from the magnets may interfere with the digitizer\u2019s Electromagnetic Resonance (EMR), the phenomenon which is used to detect S Pen\u2019s input.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
