What to know

  • Rumors suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra may remove its S Pen digitizer.
  • This change could allow Samsung to add Qi2 magnets for improved wireless charging.
  • The S Pen may use a different technology if the digitizer is removed.
  • No official confirmation from Samsung yet on these changes.

Recent rumors indicate that Samsung might make a significant change to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The company could remove the dedicated S Pen digitizer from its flagship device. This move would make space for Qi2 magnets, which are designed to improve wireless charging and accessory attachment.

If Samsung removes the S Pen digitizer, the S Pen may need to use a different technology to function. The digitizer is a key component that allows the S Pen to interact precisely with the screen. Without it, Samsung would have to find an alternative way for the S Pen to work, or the S Pen experience could change for users.

The addition of Qi2 magnets would bring the Galaxy S26 Ultra in line with other devices that use magnetic wireless charging. This could make charging faster and more reliable, and it may also allow for new accessories that attach magnetically to the phone.

At this time, Samsung has not confirmed any details about these rumored changes. The company typically announces new features and hardware changes closer to the official launch of its devices. Users who rely on the S Pen for note-taking or drawing may want to watch for more information as it becomes available.
