Does the S-Pen have to go one better than the Galaxy S Ultra?

Is the S-Pen a feature of the past or popular today?

Samsung has integrated some special functions into its top smartphones, especially the integrated S-Pen which is still unique in the industry. The Note series has been discontinued for this purpose and the S Pen has mainly been in the Galaxy S series Ultra models for some time. But is that still a good idea?

If I had my way, the S-Pen would be gone, even if it could be used to do practical things in everyday life. I left the Galaxy S23 Ultra after a few months and don’t miss the S-Pen. Because the concept is interesting: Samsung could make better use of the space for the S-Pen.

Is the S Pen still up to date?

More space would be possible for a handier ultra smartphone, a bigger battery or bigger image sensors in the camera. So perhaps many would like to offer the S Pen with an optional case like the Galaxy Z Fold.

But the results of a survey by a well-known insider surprised me. With nearly 18,000 votes, 54 percent of people were in favor of keeping the S Pen at all costs. A smaller portion voted to ditch the S Pen.

I wouldn’t bet one cent on such a balanced outcome. I was sure people would be much more interested in a bigger battery and a more powerful camera. But the S-Pen seems to be popular and could be a game-changer for the Galaxy S Ultra.

Did you think so?

Remove the S Pen and add it to the protective case, just like the Fold5, because the S Pen takes up a lot of space, which affects the battery capacity and camera features, and we don’t use the S Pen every day. If the S Pen is removed, the battery…
