How to make S Pen take pictures?

[DBoynton]

How do I get my s pen to take pictures on my galaxy 25 ultra? I have Googled it and can't find what the are talking about.

Sorry. That feature was discontinued for 2025. The pen no longer has bluetooth. You'll need an S24 U or earlier to use it.

Ok thank you.

I hope they do offer a s-pen with bluetooth for sale. It is ridiculous of Samsung to take the bluetooth off the s-pen. Was handy and I used it extensively to take photos. Dumb move from Samsung to save a few cents.

It is such a bummer that they discontinued the Bluetooth feature. That's one of the main reasons that I didn't switch to 25 ultra. I use it a lot, and the fact that they decided to discontinue that feature because people are not using it is ridiculous.

So if the choice was to have a better hardware camera system or the Bluetooth function for the same price, which would be the choice? It is an earnest question by actually being objective about the considerations of feature choices.

Asking someone to choose between established features and better cameras on a 1300 dollar phone is not a serious question, especially given that this year saw the least significant camera upgrade in the note/ultra series in years.

Samsung just wanted to cheap out. The S-Pen still has a cavity for where the battery should go, and still has the full charging coil for the pen. They just pulled the battery and Bluetooth out of the pen and called it a day. They claimed it was to reduce weight, but the S25 S-pen weighs more than the Note8 bluetooth-less stylus despite that one having a solid plastic core. They claim no one used it, but refuse to show the statistics behind it.

It's all about saving 10 cents, that adds up when you're talking millions of phones.
