Needs Bluetooth or smart things addition
on August 14, 2026
Posted by: RayRayB9
Expertise:Expert
There is no reason an expensive phone like this shouldn't have a way to find the pen that is built in. It needs to have Bluetooth or the option to add it into Smart Things. Even a little beeping to lead you to it. It doesn't have to use those things to use it (though the option to use the pen to take pictures again for example) but an option would be nice... And a way to find the darn thing when it falls out or it gets sucked to where the lost socks go.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Always Amazing!!

Expertise:Expert
I have owned every Note and Ultra Samsung has ever made.. Disregard those that state it breaks. I have never broken an s-pen. Ever. They are breaking themselves. Plus, it has warnings if left behind, is extremely responsive and precise and and it has camera control. I will continue to always own one. Well I will, once I can afford to buy a new one because I left it at a bar, lol.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I didn't even get to try it out. My brand new S26 ultra slipped out of my pocket while i was sitting down at a restaurant and the s pen flew out and broke.
My s23 has fallen a few times and not once did the s pen come out.

Lost it in less than a week
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: Catherine
Expertise:Expert
It falls on its own and doesn't let you know, if you lose it forget about it, they should offer free replacement as it doesn't even have Bluetooth anymore, so it should be an easy piece of plastic to replace
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cheap terrible s-pen easily breaks in half - JUNK!
on July 1, 2026
Posted by: Oti3548
from Wisconsin
Expertise:Expert
Fragile pen broke in half inside phone and now the tip half is stuck in there. Tried all the tips on the interwebs. Can't get it out. Now either going to have to live with no pen or spend more money to get it removed and more money to order a replacement. This, combined with the enormous camera bulge make purchasing the S26 Ultra the worst purchase I have ever made from Samsung. If I could get my S25 Ultra back I would in a heartbeat.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
