Exclusive Leaks: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Power-Packed S Pen to Axe These Key Features

Galaxy S25: No Bluetooth Support for S Pen, But What Does That Mean?

The latest leak suggests that the upcoming Galaxy S25 will indeed feature an S Pen, but it’s without Bluetooth compatibility. This news could be a cost-cutting measure, but it’s not necessarily good news for some users.

At its core, the S Pen is a stylus that allows for easy writing on the display. But its functionality goes beyond that, often relying on Bluetooth connectivity to work. For example, the side button on the S Pen can trigger various tasks, such as launching a favorite app, acting as a camera shutter button, controlling music playback, and even formatting text in the Samsung Notes app. Users can customize which tasks the button triggers, making it a valuable tool for many.

According to a leak by Isvan Agarwal on Twitter, the S Pen on the Galaxy S25 will lack Bluetooth support, which means it’s unlikely to have buttons either. This could be a way for Samsung to save battery life or cut costs on the device, as an S Pen with Bluetooth does require charging. On the other hand, the stylus can be used without a power source if it doesn’t need Bluetooth.

For long-time S Pen users, this might be a significant loss of functionality. New users, however, might not even miss it. Additionally, some Galaxy S Ultra users might not even use the stylus that often. It’s a tough pill to swallow, even for the most casual users.

Galaxy S25 Launch and Reservations

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 series on January 22. In the meantime, you can make reservations for the device with a $50 credit when you pre-order and up to $1,200+ in savings. Reservations are free, and there’s no obligation to purchase the device if you sign up, but it’s a great way to get exclusive offers.
