No Bluetooth S Pen for S26 Ultra, no Upgrade...

AfricanLionBat — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:37:59 GMT

I'm not sure if it was because I had done a Verizon order before but I had recalled a 30-day return window and Samsung does 15 days. I accidentally kept the phone too long to return it but fully intended on returning it after verifying the updated OS ONE UI 8 on the S24. Of course Samsung delayed the upgrade until after many of the early orders would have had their trade in time expire. I was so irritated because I was so ready to get rid of it. I just want to remind Samsung that I'm definitely not going to get the 26 Ultra if it doesn't have the S pen with Bluetooth because it's just going backwards. This article likes to think they are not going to bring it back and depending on how sales went they'll pull iPhone vs and cut features just to pull in as much profit as possible because people just want the newest thing. I'm typically that person but certain features that I use all the time, I just can't stand for it. The Galaxy watch sucks and battery life is terrible and the ring is horrible if you set up gestures because it turns off my video constantly from the gesture and has **bleep** me over many times so I turned it off all together and every time I switch to my watch the thing is dead.. the pen is never dead..

If the S26 Ultra comes out without air gestures from the SPen im gonna keep my S24 Ultra. I love my magic wand. Without out air gestures its just a stick. I don't care about the thinnest phone, that's what edge line was for. Samsung could bring the back flush with the camera bumps to increase the battery and keep the SPen wireless communications. They make plenty of phones for people that don't want or use the SPen, PLEASE bring back the SPens wireless communications either through Bluetooth or whatever you need to not interfere with wireless charging.

MagSafe is what people want more, it's my understanding that this is why eventually the pen is going bye-bye.

Samsung's MO, slowly take away features, until it's gone completely. Lessen the blow gradually.

I have a Magsafe case on my S24 ultra and I still use the SPenn. The only issue is if you have something attached to the magsafe the SPen lines get slightly bent. If you disconnect the MagSafe device from the case the SPen works fine. I believe they could put some shielding behind the digitizer or use a different way to communicate that is not affected by MagSafe. ALL of the other phones samsung makes don't have the SPen. I would give up MagSafe for my magic wand.🪄🪄🪄

I’m still sticking with my S24U for now. I don’t use the S Pen all the time, but I need the Bluetooth for certain situations. MagSafe isn’t important to me at all — I only use a MagSafe case so I can stick the phone to the car holder for GPS.

If Samsung removed S Pen Bluetooth to make way for something meaningful like 80W wireless charging, maybe people would still accept it. But we are stuck with the 2nd slowest charging speed in the world among flagship phones.

On the tablet side, I don’t really write with the S Pen, I just need the Bluetooth once in a while. And now they’ve removed BT from the Tab S11 too. Tablet has no wireless charging why Samsung needs to remove the bt feature?

There is no reason for me to continue with Samsung tablet, and I’m just waiting for the day Samsung removes S Pen Bluetooth from the S26U. Once that happens, I can finally walk away from the Samsung ecosystem after 12 years since the Note 3 days.

I don't use wireless charging, I do however use mag accessories everyday. I have to take off the mag ring every time I use my pen. I could care less if they put the magnets in the phone. I don't go caseless. I like the way it is now, put a case if you want to use it. 85% of people use cases, I could give to figs for the people who want it caseless.

I agree. Samsung will lose tons of sales for people like us wanting to upgrade. Without the bluetooth pen im staying with my s23 ultra for now.

Re: Re: No Bluetooth S Pen for S26 Ultra, no Upgrade...

GreatestAlive — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 04:46:20 GMT

👏thank you. I still have mine. I wont upgrade to a s26 ultra unless I know it comes with s-pen bluetooth support. I'll keep the s24 ultra as long as i can. Afterwards it an i-Phone for me. Sorry samsung you will loss a customer to the i-phone. S-pen is the only thing keeping me and the functionality it comes with. Sey thats the truth. Note lover all the way.

Re: Re: No Bluetooth S Pen for S26 Ultra, no Upgrade...

GreatestAlive — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 04:51:44 GMT

Well if it what people want then let them have it. At this point samsung is willing change their phones into i-phone copies while eliminating the core distinguishing factors that makes Samsung samsung. So when that happens it will be a no brainer to just get an i-phone. Cheaper and home made.

I *still* use my note 20. I was teetering getting the 26 ultra because it may have the S pen bluetooth features. I am crossing my fingers!! Otherwise I will hold on to my old faithful. Oh and expandable storage!!!

This is why I never upgraded my phone to S25 Ultra. I will keep my S24 Ultra until I see the S pen is bluetooth.
