Samsung’s S Pen Returns Bigger and Smarter — You Won’t Believe the Upgrades!

Samsung made a bold move with Galaxy S25 Ultra when it cut the Bluetooth link from the S Pen. That step left many fans upset. For years, the S Pen has been a key part of the Ultra line. Some even feared that Samsung might drop the pen from future S series Ultra phones.

Many had hoped the Bluetooth S Pen would return with the S26 Ultra. But that now seems less likely. Still, there is good news.

Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of Samsung MX, spoke in a chat with Bloomberg and gave fans hope. He said the firm is at work on a next-gen S Pen and is also set to change the screen build. The goal is to cut down the trade-offs that come with adding the S Pen.

He made it clear that the S Pen will stay one of the core tech parts of Samsung. That line alone may calm many loyal users.

A new report from Sammobile adds more fuel to the talk. It says Samsung may adopt the USI 2.0 rule for the next S Pen.

USI stands for the Universal Stylus Initiative group that sets a shared rule for pen tech. If Samsung moves to USI 2.0, it could solve a key issue. The new rule may stop a clash with the Qi2 magnetic charge. That means the S Pen may no longer block mag wire free charge.

If this plan works, future Ultra phones may gain Qi2 magnetic wire-free charge with no harm to the S Pen. That would be a big win. Users would not need to pick one or the other.

This step may show that Samsung is not done with the pen. It may be set to make it even smarter and easier to use.

USI 2.0 brings more than just less clash with charge tech. It also backs in cell screen tech. That could help slim down the phone and boost the screen feel.

The rule also backs tilt recognition, a 16M colour range, and 4096 level press sense. That means more fine art work and smooth notes. It can even use NFC for wireless charging of the pen.

In short, while Bluetooth may be gone, the S Pen may come back in a new and stronger form. Samsung seems set to keep the pen alive, and fans may soon see a fresh take that blends new tech with the tool they love.
