Samsung’s next flagship model, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, may drop its fan-favorite feature, the S Pen digitizer, to make room for Qi2 magnetic backs. A new rumor suggests that removing the S Pen tech would allow for more space in the device for other modules, potentially making the phone thinner. However, this wouldn’t necessarily mean the end of the S Pen, as a new design could be implemented instead. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to battle the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max for the title of best flagship phone when it launches in early 2026.
