While Bluetooth functionality in the S Pen may not matter to every user, the remote camera shutter is an essential feature for many of us who rely on it for group photos. I held off upgrading to the S26 Ultra specifically because this was missing. Please bring it back for the S27 Ultra -even as an optional add-on-as dropping it entirely takes away a core Ultra feature.

      I agree but my Samsung Galaxy S25 FE doesn't have a S-pen. Maybe my next cellular device 🤔

      The S pen on the S26 ultra is like a toothpick.

      The S-Pen seems like something Samsung absolutely needs to bring back with Bluetooth features and everything.

      They mastered the whole idea of the stylus and made it super useful and should return to that approach.

      If you have a Galaxy Watch Ultra (or maybe any Galaxy Watch) you can use it for remote camera controls.

      The funniest part about seeing this post is how I was just using that and thought, "that's cool, I wonder if the S-Pen still does this?"

      Now I have the answer.

      Now I am wondering if this is a way to sell an S-Pen Pro, if that still has Bluetooth camera shutter functionality. 🙏

      Samsung, please don't let Apple beat you at your own game for a few cents per share... it will be way better in the long term to continue S-Pen support and the development of more features. 🙏

      The world is moving to using their voice for even typing, which is not necessarily good.

      I speculate that is affecting the S-Pen because the AI on Galaxy devices works too good. People are probably saying "hey whoever, snap a shot" from a distance.

      I do not want to talk to my phone. I want to type and write my AI prompts, not verbally announce the commands.

      That's why Apple has a stylus now. Because their AI is somewhat irrelevant. 🙏

      Bring Back the bluetooth S Pen. It is useless without bluetooth and might as well get rid of it. Having the bluetooth S Pen makes it standout against the Iphone.
