Samsung's Galaxy phones can warn users if an S Pen is not returned to its slot, but this is a reminder, not a tracking feature. This warning does not provide the S Pen's location within a room or building.
The S Pen Pro is the only Samsung S Pen officially supported for tracking via SmartThings Find. It was unveiled with the Galaxy S21 Ultra in January 2021 and released in August 2021. It is compatible with various Galaxy devices, including the Note 10 and 20 series, Galaxy S21 Ultra through S26 Ultra, and Z Fold 3 through Z Fold 6 (only Fold 3 supports it).
The S Pen Pro is a larger, rechargeable stylus sold separately for $100. It features a USB-C port for charging, a dedicated pairing button, and a switch for compatible Galaxy devices. However, its size means it does not fit into the built-in S Pen slots of phones like the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Many S Pens, including those built into the Galaxy Note 9 and later Note models, and the Galaxy S22, S23, and S24 Ultra, have Bluetooth functionality for remote actions like camera activation. However, these Bluetooth-enabled S Pens cannot be located using SmartThings Find. Newer S Pens for the S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra lack Bluetooth entirely. Similarly, some Galaxy Tab S Pens support Air Actions via Bluetooth, while others, like the Tab S9 FE's pen, do not, and none of these are trackable via SmartThings Find.
