Samsung has since clarified that Bluetooth support for the S Pen is, in fact, gone. According to Samsung, the blog post was made in error, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra will not offer any Bluetooth stylus features, regardless of which S Pen you have.

Samsung calls this phone Ultra because everything is supposed to be ultra. But the regular S25 and S25 Plus have a lot of its best specs and features and cost much less.

All this to say the Galaxy S25 ($800), Galaxy S25+ ($1,000), and Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1,300) are powerful, reliable, and well-equipped smartphones. They're excellent upgrades if you're coming from a three or four-year-old device. They're just not otherwise interesting or exciting.
