Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, its slimmest smartphone yet. At just 5.8mm, the phone is incredibly slim while still packing a powerful set of specs. A price tag of $1,100 surely demands plenty, and some fans might be wondering if the S Pen is part of the package. We have the answer, folks.
Do you get an S Pen with the Galaxy S25 Edge?
When designing the Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung prioritized slimness above all else. The goal seemed to be creating the thinnest possible device first and then working out the camera setup, screen size, battery capacity, and other specs around it. As a result, the phone is so sleek that there simply wasn’t room for an S Pen. So, there you have it — the Galaxy S25 Edge does not support the S Pen.
You must have read rumors about Samsung developing new, digitizer-free S Pen technology. This tech doesn’t require a digitizer layer in the display assembly, enabling S Pen support without making the device bulkier. In theory, Samsung could have adopted this tech to add the S Pen to the Galaxy S25 Edge. Well, not a built-in one as there’s no space for it, but as an optional accessory.
However, the company seemingly wants to keep the S Pen exclusive to the Ultra model — and that decision makes sense. The Ultra lineup has long been positioned as the ultimate productivity device, catering to power users who rely on the S Pen for note-taking, sketching, and advanced controls. By limiting S Pen support to the Ultra, Samsung reinforces its premium appeal while keeping the Edge model focused on sleek design.
If you plan to buy the Galaxy S25 Edge, pre-orders are now live.
