We hope not but it sure looks like it.

STT, 03 Feb 2025I would take a 6000mAh battery over the S-Pen without hesitation.Well buy a Chinese phone because you dont like innovation it seems. Spen is a great piece of tech on a phone. Always whinning about bigger batteries and fast charging once my phone can last 24 hours on a charge and takes 1 hour to charge i good

      raj, 03 Feb 2025Go get a Redmi Well go buy an Iphone

        Vivo x200 pro has a si-c 6000mah battery and gets 1hour20minutes more active use time in testing than the s24. If you're willing to give up the S-pen for that, you're short sighted.
        that's the plan, eh? : remove feature, keep battery the same along with the price, sell S-Pen kit separately. at least use a weapon if you're going to rob us, sammy

          The S Pen wireless function is not compatible with qi2 (magsafe)
          I have an S22 Ultra and when I broke my back panel I tried to mod my phone and installed a magsafe replacement kit (the magnets). My S Pen started to act out after that, if I make a light pass over the screen (picture link: https://ibb.co/WNgcdV8S ). I presume the developers of S25 Ultra had the same result and had to choose between the S Pen and qi2 and chose the latter.

                    Samsung improved their pen instead of camera, great

                      Aadrian, 03 Feb 2025The end of the s-pen in the S series probably means the beg... moreSame. it's helpful! a lot!!!

                        realistically? NAAAAAAAAAAH Won't happen.

                          Jerome69Paris, 03 Feb 2025If Samsung removes the stylus on the next "ultra"... moreAs an artist. I agree. I'm running Krita on my phone and the stylus helps MASSIVELY.
                          I don't want to carry a TABLET with me for that. I don't carry a backpack with me all the time. a simple device from the pocket. *click, pull* and draw.

                            Mike.M, 03 Feb 2025Samsung is Dead to Me if they ditch the SPen ! Back to Pixels Or OnePlus. They have good experience too.

                              vexus, 03 Feb 2025without S pen, i just ditch Ultra version. Pointless pay so much.Yep. I'd get the Plus model otherwise. the whole POINT of Ultra is to have the stylus.
                              and if the rumor of the Vanilla S26 being axed is true. it's just like with the S10 era. big phone and bigger phone.

                                      Ditch the SPEN no matter how I love the samsung phone, I will move to another brand.
                                      I would even go Apple if they propose an apple pen that is compatible for their phone.
                                      in the same concept that Galaxy note was.
