Are these two pens actually different?

No. Both are passive S Pens for the Galaxy S26 Ultra with 4,096 pressure levels and a 0.7 mm tip. The difference is color, spare tips and price.

Which is better for drawing?

They perform the same: 4,096 pressure levels and 2.8 ms latency on the S26 Ultra. Pick B if you want the five spare tips for worn nibs.

Is the cheaper one worth it?

Yes, if black is fine. B is $13.39 at Amazon as of November 5, 2026 versus $15.25 at eBay for A, and B adds five tips.

Do either of these support Air Actions?

No. Neither has Bluetooth, so remote gestures like camera shutter do not work. Hover and button functions like Smart Select and Screen Write do.

Can I use them underwater?

A is rated IP68 for 1.5 m of fresh water for 30 minutes. B does not state a water rating, so treat it as not water-resistant.

Will either fit inside the phone?

A is described as docking in the S26 Ultra's internal holster. B is sold as a replacement for the same slot, but confirm the fit before relying on it.
