Samsung’s next big flagship, the Galaxy S27 Ultra, may be set to disappoint longtime fans of the brand’s Note-inspired legacy — if the latest leaks are accurate.

According to reports from Chinese leaker Setsuna Digital, the Galaxy S27 Ultra, expected to launch in early 2027, might drop the integrated S Pen slot — a decision that echoes the controversial approach seen with the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Why Samsung Might Drop the S Pen Slot
Per the leak, Samsung is reportedly considering removing the built-in S Pen to accommodate other hardware priorities, such as a larger battery or improved cooling systems.
If this holds true, the S27 Ultra could either exclude the stylus altogether or adopt a similar design to the S21 Ultra, where the S Pen was supported but required an optional case for storage.
A Trend Away from the S Pen in Phones?
This is not the first sign of Samsung possibly reworking its stylus strategy:
-
Well-known tipster @PandaFlashPro also reported that internal space constraints may push Samsung to rethink the S Pen’s placement.
-
The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 is rumored to drop some S Pen functionality to support a thinner form factor.
-
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen was reportedly downgraded, missing features like Bluetooth Air Actions.
Focus Shifting to Tablets?
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Samsung’s S Pen focus may be shifting away from phones and more towards the Galaxy Tab line — where the stylus is still a major part of the experience.
What It Means for Galaxy Ultra Fans
If these rumors prove accurate, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could mark a significant design shift in the Ultra series:
-
For Note-series fans who have followed the evolution of the S Pen since its early days, this could feel like the end of an era.
-
Others may welcome the trade-off if it leads to better battery life, more efficient cooling, or sleeker design.
Of course, as with any long-term leak, Samsung’s plans could still change ahead of launch — but for now, signs suggest the Galaxy Ultra series may be about to lose one of its most defining features.
