Samsung is gearing up for the death of the S Pen, whether you like it or not

It’s a bad time to be an S Pen fan — or, at least, that’s what Samsung’s not-so-quietly communicating to one of its most devoted bases. The company that practically invented the “phablet” has spent 2025 trying to leave behind (or, at the very least, downplay) one of the very things that brought it success in the first place. I’m worried the writing is on the wall for the S Pen, and it’s only going to grow bleaker from here.

Galaxy S25 Ultra long-term review: Perfection of a prescribed formula [Video]

In many ways, the Galaxy S25 Ultra signifies the industry’s acceptance that big changes are sort of “done” and that incremental updates are the way forward.

When you think of phone cases, you probably think of something that covers up your entire device.

When the Galaxy S25 was first announced, pre-orders offered some of the best offers we’ve seen. Now, it looks like Samsung is bringing those deals back with $900 boosted trade-ins for the Galaxy S25 Ultra and $1,000 trades for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. On top of that, certain colors mean even more off of the device.

The Galaxy S25 has more power button shortcuts in One UI 7, how to set them up

One UI 7 did a lot to bring Samsung’s phones up to a new standard, and some cool little features that usually fly under the radar are included in that. One UI 7 lets you change your power button shortcut to much more than a launcher for a handful of Samsung apps, like changing Modes in an instant. Here’s how it works.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Review: You might like this phone more than you expect

Samsung’s flagship smartphones don’t live nearly in the same vein they once did. They’re not as flashy, they’re not industry-leading in essentially anything, and they’re not cheap either. But, after two weeks with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, it’s hard to deny that, no matter who you are, you might like this phone a lot more than you expect to.
