Samsung stripped Bluetooth features from the stylus in the Galaxy S25 Ultra as a cost-cutting measure, citing a survey reporting only one percent of users took advantage of the Bluetooth controls and Air Actions anyway.

The S Pen has been a feature of every Samsung Galaxy Ultra model since the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and that trend continues with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, this feels like the final time we’ll see the S Pen in a Samsung phone.

Samsung has reportedly removed all references to a Bluetooth S Pen for the Galaxy S25 Ultra following user confusion. The company previously stated one was available and "sold separately;" however, that was not the case.
