The S Pen has been a very useful tool for Galaxy users for the past few years. It has helped them take notes, draw, and even control their phones remotely.
Some of you are probably already aware of Samsung’s decision to shake things up with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and, of course, not everyone’s happy about it. Here’s the deal: Samsung’s removing the Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen. That means no more using it as a remote for your camera or waving it around for air gestures.
And fans are not happy with this change.
Read on to find out more.
 Apple might be planning a major upgrade on its next generation of AirPods. A new rumor has hinted at the brand packing camera sensors on the hearables. But there’s a catch: the new AirPods won’t be using these cameras for taking pictures. Rather, it would offer a set of new functionalities. |  In recent years, foldable devices have taken the tech world by storm, combining portability with larger displays. However, the horizon is expanding beyond foldables as manufacturers explore new form factors, including rollable displays, multi-fold devices, and ultra-thin smartphones. |
 Samsung Electronics has announced a partnership with Seatrees—a non-profit organization that plants and protects coastal ecosystems to help reverse climate change. Seatrees aims to restore “blue-carbon” ecosystems like mangrove forests, kelp forests, seagrass, coral, and watersheds. |  Nothing has been teasing the arrival of a new device for the past few days. Since the launch is set for March 4, the brand may take a few more days to reveal the name of the upcoming device. The product landing page is now live on Flipkart. Surprisingly, its URL has revealed the device’s name before its official confirmation. |
