The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen no longer supports Bluetooth connectivity, removing features like Air Actions. Samsung says the change was made due to low user engagement and suggests using other devices. The S Pen is now lighter and battery-free, contributing to the phone's reduced overall weight.
