A DOWNGRADE
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: CaRs
I absolutely hate the S26 Ultra and it's S-pen. I wish it had been advertised that the pen was redesigned without Bluetooth capabilities. Its such a useless expensive tool now. Yeah, it may still write and tap but not if you have the phone in a magnetized case!!! I'd gladly downgrade back to the S24 Ultra if I could get it back. Such a disappointment 😞

Hi CaRs,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The S26 Ultra S Pen offers precise writing, responsive navigation, and a natural note-taking experience. It may take some time to get used to the redesigned Bluetooth feature and its compatibility with your magnetic case, as these changes affect how you use the S Pen. Many of the features have been enhanced and can now be accessed in different ways. Please see the link below for more information on what you can do with your Galaxy S26 S Pen. We appreciate you highlighting the importance of these features in your daily routine. Thank you for your experience with Samsung.

S26 Ultra S-Pen
on May 31, 2026
Posted by: Do not buy S26 Ultra
from Australia
Expertise:Expert
If you use the S-pen do not buy a S26 Ultra, does not work compared to previous versions, mine is only a couple of months old and AI is saying I need to replace the nib. But I think the internal hardware is broken, have a silicone case as you cannot have a magnetic case. Sensor misses first part of your writing then continues when pen is not near screen. I have had S pen since original galaxy note. I will not be buying another Samsung phone again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Why
on May 29, 2026
Posted by: Girlie
Expertise:Intermediate
Let's start with using the pen on the S26U with no case. Works for the most part. A bit jumpy, and no better than if I was wearing gloves trying to use my finger. Now if you add in a magsafe case, forget it. You will get a notification that there is a magnetic accessory detected and it will hardly work on the screen. Maybe one or two taps before its not aligned and glitches out. Then on top, it doesn't have almost any of the capabilities from my last one that came with my S22U
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just get rid of it already
on May 20, 2026
Posted by: Ryan
Expertise:Expert
Just get rid of it the S pen use to be such a great tool. Now it's useless, falls out on its own, has to be put in a certain way, and doesn't alert anymore when it's not there. No Bluetooth, not remote compatibility, and no features. Such a downgrade there's no reason to buy the ultra now you can get all the same with the mid grade phone. Disappointing isn't the right word I'd say ripped off would be more applicable here. Fill the hole and just say we want more money for less already. If someone wants to come up with a phone with a Bluetooth pen I'd gladly switch, and try it instead. Also why leave the button that does nothing now makes no sense.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worthless pen

I wouldn't have even upgraded to the 26 ultra if I knew you couldn't take pictures with the pen anymore. Worst downgrade ever.
