Samsung shelves hybrid S Pen prototype for Galaxy S27 Ultra as it matures

Samsung reportedly tested a hybrid stylus for the Galaxy S27 Ultra that would merge AES and EMR benefits without needing a battery or a display digitizer, but the company has delayed adopting it. EMR requires a digitizer in the screen, while AES uses a self-powered stylus and relies on a capacitive display; the new approach would combine their advantages but isn’t being used yet. Interference concerns from Qi2 magnets could push Samsung away from EMR in the future, and the company appears to be waiting for the technology to mature before any Galaxy S Ultra rollout.

Galaxy S27 Ultra rumored to get a major camera sensor upgrade

Leak reports suggest the Galaxy S27 Ultra could receive a major upgrade to its main camera, using a new flagship ISOCELL HPA sensor (1/1.12”) with LOFIC for wider dynamic range, possibly branded HP6 at 1/1.3”, while preserving a 200 MP resolution. This would be Samsung’s first substantial main-sensor refresh for the Ultra line since the S23 Ultra, though details are unconfirmed and the launch is roughly a year away.

Samsung's Polar ID Brings iPhone-Fast, 50% Smaller Face Scan to Galaxy S27 Ultra

Samsung is reportedly equipping the Galaxy S27 Ultra with Polar ID, a polarization-based facial recognition that works without a traditional depth-sensing cutout. The system unlocks in about 180 milliseconds—on par with Apple's Face ID—while shrinking the hardware stack by roughly 50% and preserving the front punch-hole design. Polar ID is designed to be harder to spoof (polarization differs between skin and other materials), less sensitive to lighting, and potentially cheaper to produce, which could broaden access to advanced biometric security on future Samsung devices.

Galaxy S27 Ultra tipped to upgrade with a 200MP HP6 main camera and broader optics

Rumors say the Galaxy S27 Ultra will adopt the ISOCELL HP6 200MP primary sensor (1/1.3-inch) and bring upgrades to the ultrawide and mid-zoom cameras, with possibilities of 8K 60fps video and a larger super-telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom. There are also whispers of 3D face-scanning biometric tech via Metalenz Polar ID and even a potential removal of the built-in S Pen, though these details remain unconfirmed.
