Samsung’s Galaxy S Series Faces S-Pen Changes
Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series is set for a significant shift as rumors suggest the potential removal of the iconic S-Pen from future ‘Ultra’ models. While the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain the stylus, future iterations may not follow suit. This change aims to create more space within the devices, although details remain scarce regarding compatibility with the S-Pen.
No More S-Pen on Future Galaxy S ‘Ultra’ Models
Recent insights from user @PandaFlashPro on X (formerly Twitter) indicate that Samsung may eliminate the built-in S-Pen from its future Galaxy S ‘Ultra’ models. This decision appears to be part of a strategy to “make more room” in the devices. However, the tipster clarified that this change is not imminent. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is anticipated to launch early next year, is still expected to feature the S-Pen.
The speculation suggests that the removal of the S-Pen could take effect with the Galaxy S27 Ultra, projected for release in 2028. It remains uncertain whether future models will still support the S-Pen as an accessory. If the built-in feature is discontinued, Samsung may market the S-Pen separately, allowing users to purchase it independently.
Galaxy S25 Ultra: A Shift in S-Pen Functionality
Following the launch of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in January, there were initial reports that Samsung would offer a Bluetooth-enabled S-Pen as a separate accessory. However, the company later clarified that this information was incorrect. The Galaxy S25 Ultra does come with an S-Pen, but it has undergone notable changes.
Samsung has confirmed that the S-Pen included with the Galaxy S25 Ultra lacks Bluetooth functionality. This means that users will not have access to remote features such as air actions or the remote clicker for the camera—capabilities that were popular in previous models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The company explained that only a small percentage of users utilized these Bluetooth features, prompting the decision to focus on functionalities that are more widely used.
Current S-Pen Features and Market Positioning
The S-Pen included with the Galaxy S25 Ultra is now primarily marketed as a tool for note-taking, sketching, and utilizing Google’s AI-powered Circle to Search. This shift in focus reflects Samsung’s intention to streamline the user experience by prioritizing features that resonate with a broader audience.
As the Galaxy S series evolves, the future of the S-Pen remains a topic of interest among tech enthusiasts. While the current model retains the stylus, the potential changes in upcoming releases could redefine how users interact with their devices. Samsung’s strategy appears to be aimed at enhancing the overall functionality of the Galaxy S series while adapting to user preferences and market trends.
