[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] As the inclusion of the S Pen in the Galaxy S21 Ultra model becomes more visible, Note fans are on high alert.


On the 12th (local time), IT tipster Ice Universe tweeted, "It is 100% confirmed that the Galaxy S21 Ultra model supports the S Pen," adding, "Don't lose your S Pen and keep it safe."


There have been multiple reports that Samsung Electronics is considering supporting or including the S Pen input feature starting with the Galaxy S21, and the rumors are gradually becoming reality.


It is still undecided whether the S Pen will be included or only the S Pen input feature will be supported. The rendering images of the Galaxy S21 Ultra model revealed through foreign media did not show a slot for the S Pen. Samsung is also considering selling the S Pen separately, taking into account price increases and other factors.

The meeting of the Galaxy S21 and the S Pen is also linked to the exit of the Galaxy Note. Samsung's strategy is to integrate the Note lineup into the S series to naturally guide Note fans to switch to the S series. By equipping the S Pen, which was the biggest differentiator between the two series, in the S series, the gap between the two models can be narrowed. Including the S Pen does not change the S series' characteristic rounded corner design.


IT specialist media SamMobile expects that by equipping the Galaxy S21's 120Hz display with a digitizer, a more enhanced user experience can be provided. SamMobile explained, "The combination of 120Hz and 1440-pixel resolution on the Galaxy S21 Ultra will offer a user experience comparable to the Galaxy Note20 series' 1080-pixel 120Hz mode."



Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics is expected to hold an unpacking event for the Galaxy S21 in mid-January next year, about a month earlier than usual, and start pre-orders for the Galaxy S21 on the same day. This schedule is more than a month ahead of the previous Galaxy S series timeline, which had a February unveiling and March release.
