- A Samsung blog has claimed that Galaxy S25 Ultra owners can get a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen as a standalone purchase.
- This comes after Samsung ditched Bluetooth from the S25 Ultra’s included S Pen.
- However, Samsung’s websites don’t seem to list a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen for the new Ultra handset.
Update, January 27, 2025 (01:00 PM ET): Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that its blog post was in error and the Galaxy S25 Ultra will not support Bluetooth S Pens. The company tells us that it intends to update the Insights blog to remove the misleading passage, but as of now the text remains unchanged.
Original article, January 26, 2025 (03:04 PM ET): The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t a complete upgrade across the board, as the Korean brand has downgraded the S Pen. The company has removed Bluetooth functionality from the included S Pen, claiming that the associated features like air gestures weren’t that popular with users.
