The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra introduces several upgrades but notably removes the Bluetooth-enabled remote features of its S Pen. Users cannot restore these features by using older S Pen models.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The decision to remove the Bluetooth-enabled remote functionalities from the S Pen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is disappointing. These features were quite valuable for productivity and convenience, particularly for users who rely on remote control capabilities during presentations or while multitasking. The lack of backward compatibility with older S Pen models further limits the device’s versatility, which may frustrate long-time Samsung users who have grown accustomed to these functionalities. The upgrade feels more like a step backward in usability despite the other enhancements that the Galaxy S25 Ultra might offer.
