I’ve been using the new Galaxy S26 Ultra for nearly a week, and it’s the first “Ultra” phone from Samsung I’ve ever tested. Despite using Samsung phones for half a decade, Ultra and Note models have proven elusive. This became my first run-in with the S Pen as a result, and boy was I excited. It’s rare to see a novelty smartphone feature in 2026, and a siloed stylus certainly falls into that category. Truthfully, Samsung delivered. The S Pen is fun to use and could seriously improve productivity for some users.
