- The Galaxy S21 Ultra has landed in the FCC database.
- Samsung’s presentation also confirms S-Pen support on the new phone.
Samsung confirmed earlier this month that it would bring the “most loved features” of the Galaxy Note to other Galaxy phones, while various websites and filter feeders He flatly stated that the Galaxy S21 Ultra would offer S-Pen support.
Now the apparent Galaxy S21 Ultra (model number SMG998B) has passed the FCC, and we’ve found that the filing confirms S-Pen compatibility. In fact, the listing reveals that the new smartphone will also support Hover functionality. This allows users to hold the S-Pen over the screen (without touching the screen) for various functions, such as previewing content or displaying a pointer. Check out the screenshot below.
“The EUT [device being tested – ed] can also be used with a stylus device (S-Pen). The EUT works with the S-Pen in two different inductive coupling modes of S-Pen motion detection (Hover and Click)… ”reads an excerpt from one of the test reports.
Don’t expect the S-Pen to come with the Galaxy S21 Ultra though, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it is bundled with the phone as part of some promotions. You may also need a special case to hold the stylus as the phone is not expected to have the required slot.
Otherwise, the FCC filing also confirms several other expected wireless features, such as UWB functionality, NFC, wireless power transfer (i.e. reverse wireless charging), wireless charging, and Wi-Fi 6E.
