Samsung removed Bluetooth from the S Pen on the Galaxy S25 and S26 Ultra—leaving fans frustrated.
“Bluetooth is gone: The S Pen evolves, but fans are divided.”
Discover why, what features were lost, and which devices still support wireless S Pen controls.
Samsung’s S Pen has long been a defining feature of its flagship devices, offering precision, productivity, and unique capabilities like Air Actions—gesture-based controls powered by Bluetooth. Introduced in 2011 with the original Galaxy Note, the S Pen evolved into a sophisticated tool, reaching a peak with the Galaxy Note 9 in 2018 when Samsung added Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This allowed users to control media, take photos remotely, navigate apps, and even present slides with a simple wave of the stylus.
