Samsung Maintains $50 Price for Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen, Despite Bluetooth Removal

💰 Same Price, Fewer Features

Samsung is still charging $49.99 for a replacement Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen, even though it has removed one of its most advanced features—Bluetooth connectivity. The price remains unchanged from the previous Galaxy S24 Ultra S Pen, which included Bluetooth functionality, making the cost harder to justify.

📡 Why Did Samsung Remove Bluetooth?
For years, Samsung’s S Pen featured Bluetooth capabilities, allowing users to perform remote functions like camera shutter control. However, Samsung found that less than 1% of users actually used these features. As a result, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen no longer includes Bluetooth, reducing hardware costs—but not the retail price.

🎨 Availability & Color Options

While orders for the new S Pen are not yet open, Samsung has already listed it on its online store, confirming the $49.99 price tag. The replacement S Pen will be available in Black, Light Gray, and Light Silver.

📢 User Backlash & Petition
The removal of Bluetooth has sparked frustration among users, with over 6,000 signatures on an online petition asking Samsung to restore the feature. However, Samsung has made it clear that no Bluetooth-enabled version is coming, despite initial confusion from a misleading blog post.

Would you still pay $50 for a downgraded S Pen, or is Samsung overcharging for a simplified accessory?
