Disappointed the S25 has no S-Pen Bluetooth connectivity

[ButtaBean_420]

Samsung this was definitely a deal breaker for me as I use Air Actions every day I was going to upgrade but I'm now sticking with my S24 Ultra I mean seriously Air Actions was the main selling point of the S-Pen

As of my searching last night, it was still a possibility. I now see the article from Tech Radar posted 3 hours ago where Samsung confirmed to them that the Bluetooth will be a no-go.

Today I have just cancelled my s25 ultra pre order from Samsung I am not falling for it I think as per Samsung I was in that 1% of people who use Spen air actions even though if no one was using it that it's good to have it in the flagship category phone. Why pay more money just to have it. Not this time SAMSUNG

STOP taking away features. You are removing the Bluetooth functionality of the S Pen which is absurd.  You have shut down RCS in Samsung messages and over the years you have removed many other features that make your phones unique. You want to win customers back…make your phones unique again, otherwise you are no better than Apple  

By taking away the Bluetooth feature of the S Pen, you have guaranteed I will NOT be your customer anymore.

I have an S24 ultra and upgraded to the S25 Ultrea.  I wonder if I will get dinged if I keep the Bluetooth S pen that came with my S24 and return the non Bluetooth s25U's pen with my S24 trade in.  Samsung should establish a policy that allows us to do that.  Thoughts?

@userl5Pkn2hUMs "I wonder if I will get dinged if I keep the Bluetooth S pen that came with my S24 and return the non Bluetooth s25U's pen with my S24 trade in."

There is no reason to do that. The bluetooth features (air actions) will not work with a S25 Ultra.

Beyond annoyed. Been a soild Samsung devotee due to the S Pen. For my daily requirements it was one of the major reasons why I don't use Apple products. Not being able to use the Bluetooth function really has me thinking... What's keeping me here? If I now need to carry an external Bluetooth stylus... And if spec for spec is similar and Apple accessories are far easier to source... I mean...  Am I pished that if I want this function I have to buy one and hope that it's comparable and storable inside the s25 you bet. But would I be forced to cause of my use... Prob. 

Was going to pre order but think I'm going to hold off and see what the options are. Ive never done this before. I've always pre ordered the day it was opened. 

Whichever person thought this was minor change and would be ok, could single handily alianate a whole devoted market. When MrWhostheBoss (not my only source) says it's great... But wouldn't upgrade from my s24u. I agree, with the specs and downgrades I think I'll be holding on to my S24u for quiet sometime.

Really hard to sing the praise of Samsung when this was a phsycial game changer... So many times I've said to someone with an Apple, don't worry, I'll use my pen to take that shot. Now I can't... And now I have essentially an apple... Without magsafe.. Ish.

Just tried using my S24U SPen... of course Samsung made the new one SLIGHTLY longer so that the S24U spen doesn't fit and you have to buy the one they're gonna release with Bluetooth. 

Considering returning solely because of the obvious greed.

They are not releasing a Bluetooth version of the S-pen for the S25 Ultra

To the people saying "so what, nobody used it", it is their top of the line, ULTRA phone, it should include everything. What'd it save samsung to remove it? $5, maybe? The only reason they did it to make that extra bit of money, and potentially sell you a BT SPen in the future to make even more.
