TL;DR

• The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra doesn’t have a Bluetooth S Pen, according to a tech YouTuber who bought the phone ahead of launch.


• The YouTuber posted a video showing the S Pen’s button being repeatedly pressed to no effect.


• By contrast, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and earlier Ultra phones let you use the S Pen button as a remote camera shutter, presentation clicker, and more.

One of the most controversial Galaxy S25 Ultra changes last year was Samsung’s decision to remove Bluetooth from the S Pen. This meant that the stylus couldn’t be used as a remote shutter, presentation remote, or for a host of other wireless capabilities. Now, there’s bad news if you were hoping for Bluetooth to return.

Tech YouTuber and Twitter user Sahil Karoul purportedly bought a Galaxy S26 Ultra in Dubai ahead of launch for ~$3,268. He’s now posted a video which strongly suggests that the phone doesn’t have a Bluetooth S Pen. Check it out below.
