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

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.

They have already confirmed they will not be a bluetooth s-pen for the S25 since they removed the hardware that allows it.

What is the solution for s pen bluetooth issue...?

[Robin621k]

There is none

[GaryB82]

Since the phone isn't compatible to use a bluetooth s-pen they are no solution to add one.  If you need a Bluetooth S-pen I would suggest checking out the S24 Ultra

100% agree.

This was a huge mistake taking away the Bluetooth features. I use the remote shutter feature and will miss it, or I might return the S25U and keep my S24U.

I use the remote shutter from the s-pen infrequently but when I need it it does come in clutch. being an IT person looking behind a network rack or in a wall or in a tight space it saves my **bleep** a ton. this sucks as I'm currently on the 23 ultra and was looking at the 25 for better battery as i've abused my current one. not sure what i'm going to do now. i may just get the 24 instead and save myself some money.

Shame, the S25 Ultra is a beauty. Man, just imagine if the S-pen was'nt downgraded.
This might have been the one iphone users could not ignore and finally switched. (As they have been raving about it all over social media)
But their not, and why would they now as it's no longer an improvement from what they already have or from really any other phone for that matter.
And I definately will not (upgrade?) because I'd feel like I was being scammed.
So Samsung you can keep this one. I will stay with the S24 (Actualky Ultra).

This is dumb. I also just found out recently that I won't be able to remotely use the S-Pen to trigger the camera anymore. This is one of the most useful and under-rated features of the S-Pen.

My wife and I had pre-ordered the S25 Ultra and immediately cancelled both orders after learning this. Sticking with our S24 Ultra.

Definitely I hope they restore this in/for S26 Ultra otherwise, we'll have to rethink if it's even worth sticking with Samsung anymore since the S-Pen is now a bit useless for us.

I was ready to switch from the S23 Ultra to the S25 Ultra. However, the lack of Bluetooth support in the S-pen is a non starter for me. I hope Samsung cares about its so called 1% of its loyal customers.
