The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S-Pen: A fresh twist from the S24 Ultra
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S-Pen still slides neatly into the phone, just like in older Samsung models. But don’t be fooled—it’s not the same as the one you got with the S24 Ultra or earlier versions. Samsung has shaken things up this time, and it’s all about tech and size.
What’s New?
First off, the fancy Bluetooth feature is gone. That’s the tech that lets you wave the S-Pen to open apps or trigger shortcuts with a quick press or two. Samsung stripped out that inner gear but kept the outside looking familiar. Some folks in the tech world are buzzing about this change, wondering why it happened. Samsung hasn’t spilled the beans, but whispers suggest not many people used those Bluetooth tricks daily. Still, the S-Pen remains a big deal for the phone’s appeal.
A Different Look
Size-wise, the new S-Pen isn’t a twin to its older sibling either. Put them side by side, and you’ll spot it: the S25 Ultra’s S-Pen stands a bit taller. Its top is chunkier, and the base is wider, though the shape shifts to a sharper rectangle compared to the squarer S24 Ultra version.
Here’s the breakdown: the S25 Ultra S-Pen measures 105.66mm tall, 5.84mm wide, and 4.31mm thick. The S24 Ultra? It’s 104.6mm tall, 5.8mm wide, and 4.33mm thick. So, the new one’s a touch taller and wider but slimmer overall. And here’s a surprise—it’s lighter too, dropping to 2.83 grams from 3.04 grams. I even tested an old Bluetooth S-Pen in the S25 Ultra, but it wouldn’t work or fit right.
Wrapping Up
Sure, losing Bluetooth stings a bit, but the S-Pen still shines for drawing and writing, plus it’s got a fresh size upgrade. What’s your take on this tweak? Drop us a line on our social media pages—we’d love to hear from you!
