- A teardown video of the Galaxy S25 Ultra reveals that the phone still has a charging coil similar to the one used in previous models to charge their battery-powered S Pen.
- The S Pen included with the S25 Ultra does not require charging since it lacks Bluetooth features like Air Actions and remote camera controls.
- Samsung may have left the charging coil inside either as an oversight or as a backup plan in case it decided to launch a separate Bluetooth-enabled S Pen for the phone.
Samsung’s decision to strip Bluetooth functionality from the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen didn’t sit well with many users, and now, there seems to be a bit more to the story. When the company launched the S25 series last month, it made it clear that the Ultra model’s built-in stylus would no longer support Bluetooth, meaning users would lose out on features like Air Actions and remote camera controls. To make matters worse, Samsung also confirmed that even if you bought a separate Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, the S25 Ultra simply wouldn’t support it.
That seemed to be the final word on the matter, but now, a teardown of the device has added another layer to the confusion. Tech YouTuber JerryRigEverything, known for dissecting gadgets layer by layer, discovered an unexpected component during their Galaxy S25 Ultra teardown.
