The S Pen on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is being redesigned to keep itself in tune with the phone’s broader design changes that make it look like an iPhone 17.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will be seeing some significant visual changes next year, some of which make the S26 Ultra look ancient. Due to these changes, the S Pen — which Samsung will keep, thankfully — is also undergoing a minor cosmetic change, according to a new leak.
The S26 Ultra will have much rounder corners compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which itself broke the tradition of Samsung’s unique, boxy look. As such, the S Pen’s external end, the bit that is visible when the pen is stored away inside the phone, will also be becoming curvier (translated source).
While not a big deal in of itself, it does put into perspective just how much the S26 Ultra is going to resemble the iPhone 17. Not only is Samsung making the edges a lot more curved, the Galaxy S26 Edge will apparently also feature a large rear camera module, very much like the iPhone 17 Pro.
