Disappointed the S25 has no S-Pen Bluetooth connectivity

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

Consensus seems to be that the increased cost of the chipset and the fact that S Pen features are niche (I remember reading somewhere that Samsung believes the S Pen is only actively used by approx. 1% of users) contributed to the removal of Bluetooth features.

That, and the fact that apparently magnetic accessories tend to interfere with those features, which is a problem for Qi2 Ready accessories.

It was a "we want you to buy our watches and rings" instead thing.

It was definitely cost, they already put out a memo stating that one can buy a Bluetooth S pen separately... For that, it better come in matching colors, for all the pain they put us through!

[ButtaBean_420]

This is confirmed not true

[KirkLazarus]

Definitely not true. BT S-pen functionality nonexistent on S25U.

I will prob opt for the blue tooth S pen. They should have made it an option atleast.

Samsung is not selling a Bluetooth S-Pen

This is the first year I'll not be upgrading. If next year's model doesn't bring it back, or compensates with some other significant improvement, ill be changing brands.

This will be the first year out of the last 5 that I won't be doing a yearly upgrade. As a long time note user because it catered to niche users I became an ultra user when they combined them. Now the ultra is not so ultra as it's losing more features. Samsung keep your niche users and bring back the niche phone please with all the features. Just my opinion and I understand everyone had different reasons.

You can send the S24 Ultra (trade in) without the S-Pen, they never asking for it, the question is, S24 S-pen work with the S25 Ultra.
