Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 Ultra in March 2026 with a redesigned S-Pen. Slimmer, more precisely shaped, and built to fit the S26 Ultra's new curved chassis, the S26 Ultra S-Pen is a noticeable upgrade in feel, even if the core writing experience stays familiar.
What Changed from S25 Ultra to S26 Ultra?
The biggest physical change is the size. The S26 Ultra S-Pen is noticeably thinner than the S25 version, measuring 5.0 x 4.15mm compared to 5.8 x 4.35mm on the S25 Ultra. It also has a slight arc to match the phone's curved frame. This means the S25 and S26 S-Pens are not interchangeable. Make sure you pick up the right model for your device.

Replacing Your S26 Ultra S-Pen
Given the S26 Ultra S-Pen's slimmer profile, it is easier to misplace than previous generations. If yours is lost or damaged, Stylus Shop has genuine-spec replacement S-Pens ready to ship across Australia.

Important: Watch the Orientation When Inserting
The S26 Ultra S-Pen is directional. The button must face upward when you slide it into the slot. Insert it button-down and it will protrude from the chassis. This is a design change from the S25 Ultra and worth knowing before you buy a replacement.
Which Colour Should You Choose?
Four colours are available: Purple, Silver, Blue, and Black. Black suits most cases and is the most popular choice. Purple is a standout option if you have the Titanium Silverblue or Titanium Whitesilver S26 Ultra.
