While Samsung will bring back the S Pen on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the tool’s silo might be plugged up to improve battery life.
Samsung Galaxy S 25 Ultra buyers were dismayed to find out that once again, the battery capacity of Sammy’s top-of-the-line flagship phone was 5000mAh. The last few generations of the Galaxy S Ultra models have been equipped with the same capacity battery. To end this monotonous repetition, the manufacturer is reportedly looking at ways to remove the S Pen silo from the phone which would help open up internal space for a larger battery.
Last month there was speculation from a leaker who said that the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s main rear camera could feature variable aperture allowing the device to drop the second telephoto lens. That alone could help Samsung place a larger, stacked 5,500mAh battery in the phone.
