Don’t expect Bluetooth features on the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s S Pen | Infinium-tech
Last year, Samsung took the controversial step of removing Bluetooth capabilities from the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen and if you were hoping for some compensation with the S26 Ultra, we have some unfortunate news.
A new hands-on video of the S26 Ultra reveals that its S Pen will once again lack Bluetooth functionality and will only function as a stylus. The video is courtesy of YouTuber Sahil Karol, who managed to purchase a Galaxy S26 Ultra unit ahead of its announcement.
Bluetooth-enabled S Pens of the past allowed users to use the stylus as a tiny remote for all sorts of tasks, like remote shutter for the camera app, swiping through photos in the gallery, or controlling presentation slides.
The removal of Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen on the S25 Ultra also led to rumors that Samsung was looking to eliminate stylus support on its Galaxy S Ultra line entirely, but fortunately that turned out not to be true, at least for the S26 generation.
