Which Samsung S Pens can be located using SmartThings Find?

Engadget ·

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra can warn owners when its S Pen has been left out of its slot, but the warning does not show where the pen is. Samsung officially supports location tracking through SmartThings Find for only one model: the separately sold S Pen Pro.

The rechargeable S Pen Pro costs $100 and works with selected Galaxy phones, including the Note 10 and 20 series, Galaxy S21 Ultra to S26 Ultra, and Z Fold 4 to Z Fold 6. Other S Pens are not trackable through SmartThings Find, even if they have Bluetooth. To locate the Pro, users must pair it, enable Offline finding in SmartThings settings, then refresh its location; nearby participating Galaxy devices can anonymously relay its signal.

In short

  • Only the S Pen Pro works with SmartThings Find.
  • It costs $100 and does not fit the S26 Ultra’s pen slot.
  • Offline finding must be enabled before the pen goes missing.
