We all know its bs. The S25U lost Bluetooth because samsung wants to upsell the ring/watch, which have camera control, and one way to do that is to remove alternative free ways of camera control.<BR /><BR />The decision to pull Bluetooth was so last minute that the S-pen was not physically altered and all the hardware remains *except* the battery was removed from the S-Pen. There is a gigantic cavity in the s-pen now that creates a serious weak spot. The hardware to still exists internally to charge the S-pen and the S-pen has the same control board as the previous Bluetooth enabled ones. Briefly, samsung tried arguing the change was to make it lighter. This did not hold up when it was noticed the Bluetooth free Note8 S-pen is lighter despite having a solid core.<BR /><BR />Theyre so insistent that you stop thinking about the S-pen as a camera shutter that you cannot pair and use a Bluetooth S-pen as a camera shutter (basic pen features will still work) from a different model to the S25U despite this working fine in prior devices. This is not a "not enough people used it" thing, its a "we want people to stop using it" thing. Fri, 18 Apr 2025 13:01:16 GMT TipsyTrex 2025-04-18T13:01:16Z
