Also worth mentioning is the fact that, according to previous reports, Samsung is considering removing the S Pen from the Galaxy S26 Ultra as well. No pen on the S26 Ultra might turn off a sizable chunk of Samsung users from the company's Ultra lineup, but will provide more space for a bigger battery. Samsung is reportedly considering this very carefully, and is weighing the pros and cons of this action.If I had to put in my two cents, I'd say it's either time to bring back the Note series of phones or start offering two versions of the Ultra each year. The latter might be a logistical nightmare for the company that also confuses the average consumer, however.

Kuo: Galaxy Z Fold8 to introduce crease-free display before Apple
Samsung Display has been rumored to bring a crease-free folding screen for Apple's foldable iPhone but a new report from Ming Chi-Kuo suggests the new gen panel will actually make its debut on next year's Galaxy Z Fold8. Galaxy Z Fold7 One of Samsung Display's key suppliers, Fine M-Tec, announced that it would invest a reported KRW 17.5 billion ($12.6 million) to support growing demand for its new generation of laser-processed hinges. The company has developed an internal hinge utilizing laser-drilled metal plates, which will help guide stress distribution and offer enhanced crease resistance. Fine M-Tec is expected to supply over 80% of the internal hinges for Apple's folding iPhone display and Kuo is also confident it will be the exclusive supplier for the Z Fold8. The new report also suggests that Apple's entry in the foldable phone market and its strict requirements for crease-free folding display will accelerate the adoption of laser-drilled display metal plates by competitors.
