Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra S-Pen lacks Bluetooth – here’s why

When Samsung merged the Note and S-series in 2022, with Galaxy S22 Ultra, it marked the end of an era. But the one redeeming factor about this transition was that it did not kill the S-Pen or make it redundant in any way. The jury is still out on whether a stylus even makes sense on smartphones today—for if it did, others would be doing it, too—but it was never about doing what others were doing or could do, for Samsung. It kept marching on with the idea, putting an S-Pen inside every Galaxy S-series Ultra phone since then. The newly launched Galaxy S25 Ultra also has one. But it is slightly different.
