S Pen in Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to lose Bluetooth functionality | Infinium-tech

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in two weeks. Among the most anticipated models is the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which features rounded corners and a built-in S Pen. However, recent information suggests that the stylus may lose some of its unique features.

Leakster Ishan Agarwal, while speaking to Retail Insiders, revealed that Samsung will be removing Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen, which means features like gestures and remote controls will no longer be available.

Currently, a press on the S Pen takes a photo; A double press switches between the front and back cameras, and swiping gestures change photo modes.

The feature collection is named Air Actions, which lets you wave the stylus like a magic wand to perform actions like Back, Home, Recent, and Smart Select. This functionality is available on the Tab S7 to Tab S10, Note series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and all Galaxy S flagship tablets released after 2021.

Eliminating remote control features feels like a step backward, which will likely discourage some Samsung Galaxy Ultra users from upgrading to the S25 series.

Naturally, Samsung has more data on how often these features are used. We can also see the Korean company justify this move by pointing to the new design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with rounded corners, which accommodates the slightly smaller stylus that fits in the device.
