- The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was announced on January 22 with a degraded pen
- Then reports arose that Samsung could launch a separate and enabled pen for those who wanted one
- However, Samsung has confirmed Techradar that this will not be the case
After a week of contradictory reports on the matter, Samsung has confirmed to Techradar that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will not admit the functionality of the Bluetooth pen.
The company’s last flagship was announced at Galaxy unpacked on January 22, and it was soon discovered that Samsung had eliminated Bluetooth compatibility from the phone’s pen accessory. Then, on January 26, Android Authority saw a Samsung Blog post that included the “Thought S Enabled in Bluetooth line sold separately”, suggesting that Samsung would launch a senalized and enabled pen for Bluetooth for frustrated owners of Galaxy S25 Ultra.
However, Samsung has now confirmed Techradar that this will not be the case. The company did not explain why its own blog post detailed a non -existent product, but it is safe to assume that this was done by mistake. Sorry, S fan of pen.
The S enabled Pens in Bluetooth have been (or had) a characteristic of Samsung’s note and the Ultra devices for more than a decade. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, for example, came with a Bluetooth S Enabled Pen that allowed users to control the phone remotely; You can use it to activate the camera, open applications and navigate the telephone user interface, among other things.
As for why Samsung eliminated Bluetooth’s functionality from his last S Pen, the company told the Editor of Lance Uleoff de Techradar, who did it because very few people used the related characteristics. In fact, in his Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review, Lance pointed out that “it was not lost [these Bluetooth features]”And that the pen remained a” decent drawing implement “, so perhaps the company was right when assigning its resources in other places this year.
That said, for fans of S Pen’s Bluetooth functionality, Samsung’s confusing messages, without a doubt, will have felt how to rub salt in the wound.
