Images of what appears to be an S Pen stylus and carrying case for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S21 Ultra have been leaked online, Winfuture Reports. They show a stylus that looks similar to the look of Samsung’s previous S Pence, as well as a phone case that is slightly wider than the handset, to allow space for an optional accessory. Winfuture Reports say that phone-to-phone sales will be just under € 40 (about $ 49).
This phone case is necessary as the S21 is rumored to support the Ultra S Pen but will not reportedly have a dedicated slot for storing it unlike Samsung’s Note devices. The Stylus is an optional accessory for the S21 Ultra, rather than something that comes in the box like note phones.

Rumors that the Galaxy S21 will work with the Ultra S Pen have been around for at least a month, and Samsung itself hinted that support was on the way when its mobile president T.M. Roh said the company will add some of the Galaxy Note “the most favorite features on other devices in its lineup. Late last month, the FCC filed an all-but-confirmation that there is stylus support for the upcoming phone.
According to Winfuture, The S21 Ultra will support the same S Pen features as previous Note devices. It will reportedly have a pressure-sensitive tip, gesture controls via an accelerometer, and controls for playing and pausing videos or taking remote photos.
Reports of stylus support coming on the S21 Ultra are consistent with rumors that Samsung is preparing to close its Note lineup, which counts stylus support among its defining features. However, a Samsung official reportedly disputed the allegations.
Along with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus, the S21 is expected to be one of the three devices that make up the lineup. Beyond its stylus support, other reports have claimed that the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s rear camera array will include two telephoto cameras as well as a main 108-megapixel camera. The leaked video teasers suggest that it will have a curved screen (compared to the flat screen for the other two S21 handsets) and a redesigned camera My Bump compared to the previous pay generation S20 Ultra, and Winfuture Earlier reported that it will have a 6.8-inch 120 Hz display, and a 45 mAh battery with support for 45 W fast charging.
Samsung has confirmed that its next unpacked launch event will take place on January 14, during which it will announce the new Galaxy S21 range and possibly a new tile rival with the heavier Galaxy Buds Pro wireless earbuds.
