The Evolution from the Galaxy S25 Ultra
Two months ago, I argued that Samsung’s decision to remove Bluetooth from the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen was a smart move. It seemed unnecessary and added clutter, especially since many users didn’t benefit from this feature. Now, I’m even more convinced that most users might not need the built-in S Pen at all.
Reimagining Space in the Galaxy S26 Ultra
The space taken up by the S Pen and its docking silo could serve better purposes, such as housing a larger battery. Some would argue that more battery life trumps the convenience of the stylus. Thankfully, recent news suggests that Samsung may be considering just that for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
What to Expect with the New S Pen Design
It appears that the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may not include an S Pen silo at all. But don’t worry—this doesn’t mean the S Pen is disappearing from the device entirely. Samsung will likely continue offering the accessory in the package, akin to what it currently does with its tablets. This change could pave the way for innovative designs while still catering to those who appreciate the S Pen.
In conclusion, as Samsung evolves its flagship devices, the focus on essential features rather than excess could revolutionize user experience. Keep an eye out for the Galaxy S26 Ultra; it will likely present a fresh perspective on what a premium smartphone should offer.
