Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to retain S Pen, digitizer
Technology
Samsung's next Galaxy S27 Ultra will still have its signature S Pen and digitizer after the company decided not to ditch it for a thinner phone.
The digitizer tech (just 0.3mm thick) lets you use the stylus without a battery, so all the classic note-taking and doodling features are sticking around.
Why Samsung decided to stick with the current setup
Turns out, people weren't fans of thinner models such as the Galaxy S25 Edge, which received negative feedback, so Samsung listened and kept the EMR-based S Pen.
They did consider other stylus options but stuck with what works best for users.
The new Ultra is expected to run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, while the regular S27 and S27+ will likely get Exynos 2600 chips, so there's something different under each hood.
