Leaked information before Galaxy Unpacked 2026 indicates that the S Pen accessory for the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not support Bluetooth technology, making its main function focused solely on writing.
The Galaxy S26 Series launch event, which includes the Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, at Galaxy Unpacked 2026, has revealed almost no secrets about the devices, thanks to official Samsung disclosures and internet creators.
According to KaroulSahil on the platform X, the S Pen stylus accessory for the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not support Bluetooth functionality, meaning this S Pen can only be used for writing.
KaroulSahil’s video mentions he purchased the device locally, noting that the S Pen lacks Bluetooth like previous models. This means remote functions that were key selling points—such as using the stylus as a remote camera shutter or a pointer for presentations—are no longer possible.
KaroulSahil added that the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s design is more rounded, which may affect the S Pen slot. The video shows that if users insert the pen the wrong way, the angled end of the pen, matching the device’s curve, protrudes and doesn’t sit flush with the frame, and there appears to be no mechanism to prevent incorrect insertion.
Another point of interest for the Galaxy S26 Series launch is the pricing, asSamsungis facing challenges controlling costs for components like RAM and chipsets due to the AI industry's demand, which has significantly disrupted the tech business.
