With as few upgrades as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra brought to the table, Samsung still felt like it was a good idea to bring a notable downgrade to the phone as well. The S Pen has lost Bluetooth functionality, which means Air Actions and gestures no longer work. According to Samsung, people just weren't using the features enough.

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.

The S Pen has long been a signature feature of Samsung’s flagship Android phones, setting the brand apart in a crowded smartphone market. First introduced with the Galaxy Note series, the S Pen quickly gained popularity for its precision and versatility.
