Best sign yet the Galaxy S22 Ultra could have a built-in S Pen slot

Samsung did not release a new Galaxy Note series smartphone this year, disappointing all S Pen fans. However, it was rumored that the Galaxy S22 Ultra could have a built-in S Pen. Now, a new sign has emerged which almost confirms that Samsung's next Galaxy S series flagship device will have a built-in slot for the S Pen.

According to our friends at GalaxyClub, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has an S Pen detector. It is a component that detects the presence of the S Pen inside the device and it is present on all Galaxy Note series devices. Even though the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 are both compatible with the S Pen, they don't have the S Pen detector because they lack a dedicated slot for the stylus.

The presence of the S Pen detector inside the Galaxy S22 Ultra points towards the smartphone featuring a dedicated silo for the S Pen. This is great news for all Galaxy Note series fans. The report also states that the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S22+ reportedly lack the S Pen detector, which means they won't have an S Pen slot.
