MagSafe chargers and S-Pens don’t play well together.
If you try to use an S-Pen on a Galaxy Ultra phone that’s attached to a MagSafe charger, “users can expect to encounter a large ‘dead zone’ in the shape of the magnetic ring,” according to a post from Dbrand on Reddit.
Dbrand also says that you “may observe a negligible reduction in S-Pen accuracy when drawing directly over the magnetic array within a MagSafe-enabled case.” If you’ve purchased one of Dbrand’s MagSafe cases for your Galaxy Ultra, the company is offering non-MagSafe replacements.
