Last month, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone along with several new features but without Bluetooth support for the S Pen. Now, a recent teardown of the Galaxy S25 Ultra has revealed an unexpected disappointment for fans of the S Pen.

The S Pen of the Galaxy S25 Ultra still has a circuit board designed for Bluetooth functionality, but the necessary Bluetooth components are missing. This follows earlier reports that the phone has a charging coil, which would be needed for a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, even though it isn’t powered.

The teardown was done by iFixit, who used a Lumafield’s Neptune CT scanner to look inside the S Pen. It reveals that the layout of the S Pen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is almost identical to the one in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, the main Bluetooth parts, such as the capacitor needed for charging, are completely missing in the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s model.

This is too surprising because earlier leaks showed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could work with a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen. Many users were excited about the possibility of having features like remote camera controls and Air Actions. Now, it looks like Samsung is fully removing the Bluetooth support for S Pen.

But why did Samsung remove Bluetooth support from the Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen? There may be two reasons. The first reason is that Samsung might have decided to cut costs or found that people weren’t using the Bluetooth features enough. Another is that Samsung is saving this functionality for a future premium S Pen accessory.

Currently, it is not clear but we can expect more information about S Pen Bluetooth support in the future. Stay tuned.

Samsung is going to launch 2025 ‘s Galaxy A series phones, which include Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26. Ahead of the launch, press renders of Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 phones have been leaked, giving us a closer look at the design and features.

Recently, a reliable tipster @MysteryLupin shared renders of the upcoming Galaxy Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26 phones on X. These renders show the colors and design of these phones.

A common feature in all three models is their camera design. The cameras have an amazing look with a clean, round ring around the lenses. However, the side and bottom bezels on these phones are a bit thicker compared to other phones in the same price range.

The Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 will run on One UI 7.0 and will receive six major updates over time. The A56 and A36 models will be water- and dust-resistant with an IP67 rating, making them durable for everyday use.

Recently, @evleaks shared a GIF showing the different colors of the Galaxy A56, which highlights its aluminum frame with a brushed finish and visible camera bump.

Moreover, several leaks suggested a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide, and 5MP macro camera, along with a new 12MP front camera. The phone is expected to keep the 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. It will feature the Exynos 1580 chip, 8GB of RAM, and Android 15.

Renders show the amazing color of the Galaxy A36. It is possibly slightly shorter but wider and thinner than the A35 5G.

The smartphone will reportedly use a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip instead of Exynos or MediaTek chips found in older models. It will feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Moreover, it will pack with a 50MP main camera, 12MP front camera, and 5000mAh battery.

The Galaxy A26 will keep the notch display and larger bottom bezels from its predecessor, the A25. It will be powered by the Exynos 1280 chip and is expected to be similar to the A25.

A new rumor crushes the Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship’s 7,000mAh battery hype yet carries a piece of convincing news. Samsung may finally surpass the 5,000mAh battery bound in its flagship phones, starting with the Galaxy S26 series.

Leaker PandaFlash reports that the S26 Ultra will not be packed with a 7,000mAh battery. Beyond that, the source highlighted that the phone won’t even reach 6000mAh capacity as Samsung Test Lab allegedly has up to 5500mAh battery.

It seems to be a big downgrade (everything in rumors), but the S26 Ultra may finally bring a 5500mAh battery. Things may be even better if Samsung finally jumps to the next-gen silicon carbon battery technology next year.

Compared to lithium-ion, silicon carbon batteries improve the capacity by at least 10 percent. The new material will keep the size intact while boosting the capacity. A significant jump can only be possible if Samsung opts for Si/C batteries.

Meanwhile, Samsung is prioritizing software optimization to increase efficiency. Similar to Apple, the company is working on One UI tweaks and background app processes to elevate Galaxy’s battery life rather than raising battery capacity.

A few days back, a Korean outlet’s report circulated with big battery hypes. It was confidently reported that Samsung is considering 6,000mAh to 7,000mAh capacity battery for its next-generation flagship smartphones.

The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be launched in January 2026. There’s a whole year and genuine inputs may appear after the debut of Z7 series foldables yet you can enjoy the tech world, which continues to evolve further.

Samsung may avoid under-display selfie camera technology in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The company may continue its Infinity-O screen approach for an additional two to three years.

According to the info, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may not feature an under-display camera. The technology is yet to be matured and has concerns like low resolution and quality.

Samsung doesn’t really want to compromise on the picture quality of the selfie camera. Therefore, UDC would remain a dream feature until it matures and clears its technological hurdles.

Under display/panel camera technology refers to a next-gen display that makes the selfie camera hole hidden when not in use, you only see the black sensor cutout when the camera is in use.

Earlier, rumors spread that the early S26 Ultra prototype had UDC technology. Samsung’s Display division was suspected to be considering under-display tech for the next-gen flagship.

However, the new input from a different leaker indicates that UDC isn’t coming anytime soon. Samsung has applied an under-display camera in its foldable lineup, starting with the Z Fold 3.

The Korean tech giant has just released the new Galaxy S26 series. Now, preparations are underway for a pair of mid-range phones along with the Galaxy S25 Edge (coming around April).

In the second half, the company will introduce next-generation foldable smartphones. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to debut a more enhanced under-panel camera technology this year.

A new leak reveals shocking details about the Galaxy S25 Edge screen. The smartphone is expected to be introduced around April this year. Meanwhile, a credible leaker just exposed its possible front appearance in a screen protector image.

Samsung insider IceUniverse posted an image of the alleged S25 Edge protective film. This leak reveals shocking details about the screen of the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, including its size, and corners; but not the bezels.

Galaxy S25 Plus comes with a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display. The source also mentioned that the screen size of the S25 Edge is similar to the S25 Plus. The protective film shows extremely thin bezels that might not be the same in reality.

Third-party protective films safeguard the screen from regular scratches. The surrounding bezels differ from the consumer units. Hence, it’s unsafe to assume that the S25 Edge bezels would be similar to what is shown in the screen protector.

Previous reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be unveiled in the second quarter. The company was testing two prototypes with different designs and specs. At the Unpacked, Samsung showed us what’s being developed for consumers.

The smartphone could be packed with a 3900mAh battery with 25W fast charging. The dual camera module may have a 200-megapixel primary and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor; lacking a dedicated Telephoto zoom camera.

Snapdragon 8 Elite is almost confirmed to power the Galaxy S25 Edge. Both the US and Global variants will likely use an 8-core Snapdragon chip, with performance improvements revealed in the recent Geekbench tests.
