Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra launches without Bluetooth S Pen accessory

Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Ultra will not include the Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, which was a feature in previous models. The company confirmed it will not sell the accessory separately, marking a significant change from past offerings. The S Pen's Bluetooth features, such as remote camera control and media playback, are no longer available. Users can still purchase a basic S Pen for $50, but it lacks these advanced functions. Samsung stated that most users did not utilize the Bluetooth features enough, leading to this decision. The S25 Ultra focuses on other methods for tasks like taking photos, which have become more popular.
