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

May not be entirely true. Everyone also seems to forget that to have the wireless S-Pen, which need to be charged by the phone, they have to include charging hardware inside the device. If only a small percentage of users actually use those wireless features, it's a lot of wasted space and money to include it in every single unit. They said they increased the size of the vapor chamber, might be how they were able to do it. While I personally haven't used wireless S-Pen features in a while, I do also wish they would still be available, but I can also accept a compromise of a faster and cooler running device, if that's the case (because it's just me speculating). Might be something else, but surely there is no empty space in there. Also, for the money part of the argument, pricing remained the same this year, even with the global inflation that is surely affecting their bottom line too. It's easy to say Samsung is being greedy, but in reality, it might be them making tough choices to keep their prices from going up, which definitely benefits us. The price of the Fold 6 went up from Fold 5, and it's also not cool, but funny enough, I see more people angry about losing one feature, than seeing a $100 price hike. Makes me wonder if they kept the BT and increased the price instead, if the backslash wouldn't actually be as bad?

Good point 😊. I prefer a feature that comes with the phone then a gimmick that will come out from a third party later on... (Now Bar)

What charging hardware? The spen never had a battery, it uses a capacitor. I'm looking at my spen now, there's no charging connectors that I can see.
I watched a teardown video, but was inconclusive.

Couldn't it be that the capacitor is energized by the phone's wireless reverse induction charger? If our phones can charge our watches and earpods, it be sensible to use that same hardware for the spen. Unlike a battery, a capacitor is energized very quickly.

How do I turn off these stupid pop u/p ads? I can't go a minute without an ad. It driving me crazy

[KirkLazarus]

Get the dns adaware and it will block the pop ups.

@GloHuny There are no pop-up ads on this community, if this is what you're referring to. If you're getting them here, it's something on your device, not the issue here.

Yes. I read a few articles that they will be offering a bluetooth enabled S-Pen for the s25

Ultra25 Iam DISAPPOINTED about S-PEN - I contacted Samsung Care and there is NO SPEN with Bluetooth avaiable for use on the Ultra 25

[KirkLazarus]

Those articles are wrong, unfortunately.

@Members_1IyyPNX I used the S25 Ultra for a couple of days last week. There is no ability to enable Air actions on the device. Therefore the bluetooth features of an S Pen would not be useable on a S25 Ultra.
