Samsung Confirms Future S Pen Integration, Teases Advanced Technology
Samsung has confirmed the continued integration of the S Pen in future Galaxy S Ultra models. This confirmation follows the removal of Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and its absence in the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of Samsung MX (Mobile Experience), revealed in a Bloomberg interview that the company is developing a new, more advanced S Pen technology. This technology will necessitate a new display structure. While specific details were not shared, Samsung could potentially adopt the USI 2.0 standard or a newer version for future S Pen models.
"We’re working on a more advanced technology within S Pen to come up with a new structure of display, so the penalty of having S Pen is diminished. S Pen will continue to be one of the core technologies."
If Samsung implements the USI 2.0 standard, it may prevent interference with Qi2 (or newer) magnetic wireless charging. This could facilitate the integration of both the S Pen and Qi2 wireless charging magnets into upcoming devices.
