The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series has largely gone smoothly, but there’s been a bit of confusion over the last few days about the whole S Pen situation for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. What was clear the whole time is that, unlike the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the latest model doesn’t come with a Bluetooth S Pen. We can live with that, but then a Samsung story on its own Insights blog late last week claimed an external Bluetooth S Pen would be compatible. We wondered how you felt about paying extra for an upgraded S Pen for your Galaxy S25 Ultra and ran a poll to find out.
Now, for full context, we launched this poll prior to the statement Samsung gave Android Authority that the blog post was inaccurate and that the Galaxy S25 Ultra doesn’t support any Bluetooth S Pen. This makes the results of the poll somewhat hypothetical since we were asking if you would buy something for your S25 Ultra that we now know isn’t an option for you to buy anyway. You can blame Samsung for that unclear messaging. Still, the results give us an interesting insight into how you feel about a Bluetooth stylus and whether you’d be prepared to fork out extra cash for one.
