Samsung has just officially launched the Galaxy S25 series with many valuable upgrades, but there is a confusing change on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
At the Galaxy Unpacked event held in the early morning of January 23 (Vietnam time), Samsung introduced the Galaxy S25 series with a series of new features, attracting the attention of the technology world. However, besides the outstanding improvements, the "divine" S Pen of the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a disappointing change: the removal of Bluetooth connectivity.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen loses Bluetooth capabilities.
The S Pen has long been a symbol of the Galaxy Note series and now the Galaxy S Ultra, turning the phone into a powerful work and creative tool. However, with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung has decided to remove the Bluetooth functionality on the S Pen, which means users will no longer experience Air Commands features such as gesture remote control.
According to Samsung, the decision was based on statistics showing that less than 1% of S Pen users use Air Commands. Most users only use Bluetooth to activate the remote shutter function, a feature that can easily be replaced with other methods.
The removal of Bluetooth brings some benefits to the new S Pen. Samsung says the S Pen will be lighter and more durable, which should make writing and drawing a more natural and comfortable experience for users. However, the removal of Bluetooth and Air Commands may be a disappointment for users who have grown accustomed to the convenience of these features.
