Samsung’s new flagship Galaxy S26, which is expected to be introduced at the beginning of 2026, was allegedly working on a hardware innovation for Ultra. New leaks point to a technology that focuses on solving the entry problems that S Pen experiences with magnetic accessories. Exceeding this technical limitation since the Galaxy Note series means a potential change that would directly affect the use of S PEN.
In the Galaxy S25 Ultra, features such as Bluetooth connection in the previous models and Air Actions were removed, but various disruptions were still observed at the pencil entrance due to magnetic accessories. When users approached Qi2 -supported charger or magnetic wallet cases, some parts of the screen were unresponsively in some parts of the screen. Samsung’s new digitalizing technology aims to prevent the pen from being affected by magnetic parasites. The lack of integrated magnets in the case of the company’s existing models indicates that this problem is aware of. If the new technology comes into play, it may be possible to eliminate the limits caused by such accessories.
Problems such as the “dead field” or irregularity in pen pressure sensitivity, which the users have been encountered for years, were more common when used in combination with magnetic lids and cases. This hardware interaction has been tried to be overcome with temporary solutions for a long time in the S Pen -supported models of the Galaxy S series. However, the renewal of the input system of the item at the hardware level is considered a step to solve such problems as a step. It is stated that the new system may either be an intervention directly to the digitalizer or a improvement in the data transmission protocol between the Stylus and the screen.
The new pencil technology is expected to be tried on Galaxy Z Fold 7 first
Sources close to Samsung claim that the system can first be tried in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 model. This foldable device, which is expected to be introduced at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2025, is likely to carry the new digitalizing system in terms of external S Pen compliance, although it does not include a pen slot. Following this test process, the system is planned to be integrated into the Galaxy S26 Ultra model. Although Fold 7 does not offer a structure in which S Pen is physically stored, it may serve as a suitable prototype for the evaluation of technological infrastructure. If the system provides the expected performance, it can offer a more consistent and stable user experience with the S26 ultra pen.
This innovation planned by Samsung can affect not only the performance of S Pen, but also the device design. The reason why the company has avoided putting integrated magnets into the device was to reduce the risk of magnetic intervention. If new technology solves this problem, a more free design understanding can be started in the internal structure of the devices. In this way, both less restriction in the production process and the obligations for users’ accessories preferences are eliminated. This change may provide a concrete advantage, especially for users who use third -party Qi2 charging devices or magnet accessories.
In addition to these developments on the S Pen side, some estimates of the Hardware components of the Galaxy S26 Ultra are on the agenda. The device will have 2600 processors developed with 2 nanometers production process, and 16 GB of RAM will be accompanied. It is suggested that the battery capacity may remain below 5400 mAh. It is thought that these hardware features may be of a way that directly affect the general use experience of the device when combined with S PEN newness. In line with all this information, S26 Ultra is expected to undergo a significant evolution not only software, but also hardware.
Although the existing leaks may vary some changes to the release of the device, Samsung’s reconsideration of S Pen technology is seen as an important development in terms of approach to a technical problem that has been waiting for a long time. Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be introduced in the first quarter of 2026. For this reason, this new hardware solution for S Pen is likely to come to the agenda with clearer information in the coming months.
