The S Pen has been a very useful tool for a small group of Galaxy years. It has helped them take notes, draw, and even control their phones remotely. Some of you are probably already aware of Samsung’s decision to shake things up with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and, of course, not everyone’s happy about it.
Samsung claimed less than 1% users use the functionality
Here’s the deal: Samsung’s removing the Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen. That means no more using it as a remote for your camera or waving it around for air gestures. Why? Well, according to Samsung, less than 1% of users actually used those features.
Offering the functionality to the 99% means charging them for something they don’t use, and removing it makes it easier for Samsung to reduce the manufacturing cost amid the higher price of the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. So, from a numbers perspective, it makes sense to remove Bluetooth functionality. But for that 1%? They’re not thrilled.
But that 1% demands Samsung to reintroduce Bluetooth in S Pen
In fact, some fans are so upset that they’ve started a petition on Change.org titled “Demand Samsung Mobile to Reintroduce Bluetooth S Pen for Galaxy S26 Ultra.” Yep, they’re already looking ahead to 2026, hoping Samsung will bring back the Bluetooth features they love. The petition is basically saying, “Hey Samsung, we know it’s a small group of us, but we really care about this stuff!”
Now, let’s be real—online petitions don’t always lead to big changes, especially in the tech world. Most of them don’t go viral, and even if they do, companies like Samsung tend to stick to their data-driven decisions. But hey, signing a petition doesn’t cost anything, and it’s a way for people to feel like they’re being heard.

This whole situation is a classic example of the balancing act tech companies have to pull off. On one hand, they need to streamline features and focus on what the majority of users want. On the other hand, they risk ticking off their most loyal fans who’ve come to rely on those niche features.
So, if you’re one of those people who loves using the S Pen’s Bluetooth capabilities, you might want to check out that petition. It’s a long shot, but who knows? Maybe Samsung will listen.
