Samsung Faces Backlash for Removing Bluetooth from Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen

The Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen loses Bluetooth functionality, sparking user disappointment and a petition for its return in future models.

Samsung confirmed the Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen does not support Bluetooth, removing features like remote photo capture and air gestures.
The company stated that the decision was based on low usage of Bluetooth features by most users in previous models.
A petition urging Samsung to restore Bluetooth functionality for the Galaxy S26 Ultra has gathered over 600 signatures.
Initial confusion arose from a Samsung blog post mistakenly mentioning Bluetooth-enabled S Pens being sold separately, which the company later clarified was an error.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra remains a high-performing flagship device, but the removal of S Pen Bluetooth features has left some users reconsidering upgrades.
