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

I don't have a phone capable of using the S-Pen, but I can't even imagine what the purpose of the S-Pen would be if it didn't have BT (or even NFC) connectivity.  Does the old S-Pen work with the new phone, or is it device specific?

I was in Best Buy yesterday, the S24 pen works on the S25U with NO AIR ACTIONS.

I use my pen a lot, with editing videos, and writing on photos, just to mention a few.
I use to use it as a shutter button for my camera. I can do that with my Watch Ultra now.

Don't make sense, why samsung, why did you remove the Bluetooth function on tthe s25ultra s pen. I love it on my s22 ultra and my s24ultra, I was thinking to upgrade my s22 to the s25 but never mind. Hopefully they bringing back to the s26 series.

A update can’t restore this since the hardware was removed

@Bemidji  Wrong.  There is no battery in the S-Pen itself, as well as no Bluetooth transceiver.  There is no charging coil for the S-pen in the "garage" for the S-Pen.  Hardware cannot be created via a software update, as these phones are not manufactured with nano-bots.

I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THE BLUETOOTH FEATURE THAT SAMSUNG REMOVE FROM THE S PEN WITH THE S25ULTRA , IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FEATURE I USE IT A LOT WITH MY S24ULTRA, IT'S THE ONE REASON THAT I STICK WITH THE 24ULTRA .
