I just recently purchased the Ultra 25 in store unfortunately I wasn't able to get the Ultra 24 as they are scarce/if available at all, since the newer 25 phone release. I am disappointed that the S Pen does not have blue-tooth capabilities particularly being able to use the S Pen as my selfie picture taker. Will Samsung eventually put out an update or provide a fix for this? Also, with the new default text messaging application, there are customizable capabilities missing that were in the previous default Samsung messaging app. Specifically the ability to hide text content when the text notification pops up while using other apps. Now you can only hide text content on the lock screen but if you're using the phone and a text notification pops up, it shows the text detail. Another disappointment! If I'm using my phone and showing someone something, I do not want my text message detail to show.
I just know that if you're dissatisfied, take it back and have some patience; you'll find what you're looking for and you won't spend the rest of eternity wondering 'what if?'. There was no way I would even consider getting rid of my S24 Ultra (or my S23 Ultra, for that matter), for what constitutes a non- upgrade to the S25, in my opinion.
The actual reason the S-Pen Bluetooth features were pulled was to aid the profit margin. It was such a last minute decision that the battery cavity still exists in the pen and charging coil still exists in the phone. It cannot be returned in a software update because of the removed battery, but could potentially return if they decided to sell a Bluetooth S-Pen for S25.
This is most likely. It was removed to create feature scarcity so they can then sell a "fix" if the backlash is enough. It's the hegelian dialectic.
Start with the desired outcome. So to Samsung would be to create additional income through accessory sales.
So problem, reaction, solution cycle of the dialectic.
Problem: no more S-pen Bluetooth.
Reaction: anger, use that anger to judge potential sales from the intended solution.
Solution: sell an S-pen with Bluetooth for more money.
There's no reason the charging circuit wouldn't have been removed otherwise as it's literally wasted tooling, manufacturing and cost.
If it doesn't return for the s25U as a accessory addon, it likely would be added back to the S26U and the choice to not remove it from the manufacturing process would have been the cost of changing the tooling and process would have been higher for a single model vs removing it for that one model.
3 weeks S25ult 1td stock decided to go into a boot loop yesterday. took to samsung service center, now a brick. 19 days old. samsung corp service says needs to be sent to them, 1 business week to look at it, then they will decide to fix or replace. should have something back to me in about 2 weeks. oh, i also paid for most expensive care+. close to$2000.00 three weeks ago and now two weeks with no phone. anyone who buys any samsung products, be aware once they have your money it is Fyou
