Beyond the Alphabet is a weekly column that focuses on the tech world inside and outside the confines of Mountain View.

Until Galaxy Unpacked, there were some rumors that Samsung might consider ditching the S Pen, possibly to save itself a few bucks. Thankfully, those rumors weren’t true, and the S Pen is still alive and well with the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

It’s not just that we have a stowable stylus that makes the S25 Ultra interesting even for those who don’t want a nearly 7-inch phone. The S Pen provided more functionality than just being able to doodle on the screen. However, with the S25 Ultra, Samsung decided to forgo Bluetooth Low Energy, opting for a more “dumb” S Pen.
