The Galaxy S26 Ultra prototype is said to have a new S Pen with Bluetooth connectivity. If this rumour turns out to be true, then it appears that Samsung is bringing back a feature that it removed from the S25 Ultra. The S-Pen included in the Galaxy S25 Ultra doesn't have Bluetooth functionality.

Further, Samsung could be testing the Galaxy S26 Ultra with stacked battery technology, and the battery capacity is said to have already exceeded the 5,500mAh limit. The existing model has a 5,000mAh battery.

It is said to be the brand's first bar-type smartphone to feature the latest Colour Filter on Encapsulation (CoE) technology for reducing power consumption and increasing light transmittance. It could run on Qualcomm's next flagship Snapdragon chipset.
