Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra: One of Samsung’s distinctive smartphone features may be about getting an important change. A recent leak suggests that the Galaxy S27 Ultra, which is expected to be on market in early 2027, would not come with an integrated S Pen. Longtime admirers of the Note heritage may be disappointed by this decision.
Setsuna Digital, a Chinese leaker, made the accusation. According to the report, Samsung is considering removing the built-in stylus slot in favor of other design goals, such bigger batteries or better cooling. If accurate, the Galaxy S27 Ultra might either do away with the stylus completely or adopt the strategy of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which allowed the S Pen but needed an extra case to store it.
Samsung’s reversal of its stylus approach is not the first indication. Internal limitations may also force the company to reallocate space within the gadget, according to reports from tipster @PandaFlashPro. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is reported to lose several S Pen features in order to achieve a thinner design, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra actually came with a downgraded S Pen that was missing features like Bluetooth Air Actions.
It is becoming more and more obvious that Samsung is shifting its S Pen focus from smartphones to tablets. If the report turns out to be true, the Galaxy S27 Ultra might be a game-changer, as the S26 Ultra remains expected to have the built-in stylus.
Some may view it as the end of an era for the former Note-inspired Ultra series, while others may embrace the trade-off if it means better performance or longer battery life. Plans may yet change before launch, as usual, but if Samsung decides to proceed without the S Pen, it will be one of the biggest design changes in the history of the Galaxy Ultra line.
