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.

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.

Samsung has deleted a misleading reference to a Bluetooth S Pen for the Galaxy S25 Ultra after removing those features from the device.
