Samsung promises not to remove S Pen from future Galaxy S Ultras

The S Pen has become the top-tier accessory for people who like to draw and take notes on their phone, especially on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, the future of the stylus has become a topic of debate lately, as it wasn’t included in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition package. Fortunately, the company promised not to leave out the S Pen from future Galaxy S Ultra models.

Annika Bizon, VP of Product and Marketing at Samsung’s Mobile Experience in the UK, recently told TechRadar at MWC 2025 that Samsung Galaxy users don’t need to worry about whether or not the S Pen will be included in future models. The stylus was left out of Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event showcasing the Galaxy S25 series back in January, but just because it was absent from recent marketing campaigns for the latest model doesn’t mean it won’t be a part of the upcoming Galaxy S Ultra phones.

“Multimodality is really important to us,” Bizon said. “So [that’s] how people use their phone – whether they’re speaking, whether they’re writing, whether they’re in a meeting. People do use their S Pens in meetings to write notes. So, I don’t see a space where the S Pen is not a key part of our portfolio.”

If you’re still doubting the S Pen will show up in future phones, Samsung is already considering including it in the Galaxy Z Fold 7, only it will reportedly ditch the digitizer element and implement the active electrostatic system (AES). That’s same stylus input the Apple Pencil has. The S Pen also lost Bluetooth functionality with the release of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which means Air Actions and remote shutter capabilities, among other Bluetooth features, no longer work for the current model. However, you can still use the Air Commands menu and the Circle to Search feature.

We just got our first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+

Earlier this morning, the first images of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ leaked onto the web — and these aren’t just run-of-the-mill renders, either. You can see the upcoming tablet in full 360-degree video alongside crystal-clear 5K renders, courtesy of @OnLeaks.

The news of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ isn’t new; we already knew the tablet was on its way, and it could possibly rival the iPad Pro in size. Expected to come in at a whopping 13.1-inches, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ will have plenty of real estate for all the applications you could imagine. What makes it stand out, though, is that it’s a mid-range tablet offering nearly flagship sizes.

World’s thinnest phone is here, but it’s not the iPhone 17 Air or Galaxy S25 Edge

The year 2025 could very well mark the arrival of super slim phones. Samsung has already given us a glimpse of the Galaxy S25 Edge, and could launch it as soon as April. Apple, on the other hand, is heavily anticipated to launch an iPhone 17 Air model later this year.

It seems a relatively unknown brand will beat them to the game.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge release date could be just weeks away

Samsung is gearing for a head start in the upcoming battle of slim phones. After teasing the design — and confirming the name — at the Galaxy S25 launch earlier this, Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge in the coming months, and we now have a solid rumor on the exact date.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be announced on April 16, South Korea’s Seoul Economic Daily has reported. It says that instead of a physical unveiling, Samsung will host an online Unpacked event on the said date to reveal the slim phone. Despite the unveiling in April, the phone will not go on sale until the following month, and the exact date of availability isn’t clear yet.
