Galaxy S25 Ultra is just around the corner, and excitement is building as new leaks emerge. Recently, a promotional video was momentarily available online before being swiftly taken down. Additionally, several official-looking images showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra and its S Pen have surfaced. This next-gen device is anticipated to depart from the classic Note's angular design. However, it appears that the S Pen may forfeit Bluetooth connectivity, a feature introduced with the Galaxy Note 9 back in 2018. Consequently, the Galaxy S25 Ultra might lose some cherished functionalities.

The promotional material shared by Tarun Vats indicates that Samsung might focus on straightforward features such as sketching and note-taking, implying that the Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen won’t support Bluetooth functionalities. However, users can still access Air Command, a tool that presents shortcuts for features compatible with the stylus.

While it may seem that the Air Command menu relies on Bluetooth due to its ability to recognize the S Pen when hovering, it actually utilizes electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology to enable the display to detect the stylus even at a distance. Samsung might have decided to remove Bluetooth support based on its underutilization among users. They could also introduce enhancements such as a 1.5mm tip for improved usability, greater durability, and a better sketching experience to mitigate the impact of this loss. Galaxy S25 Ultra's slightly curved edges and flat sides offer it a refreshed aesthetic. Pre-reservations for the phone are available now, complete with a $50 credit offer.
