Please stop pricing the same if you are going to remove features. Do better.

Samsung, 

Your products do not need to be thinner! The S 25 Ultra is built extremely well and has a premium look, feel, and weight. Samsung used to make fun of all the trends and senseless removal of features when Apple & Google did it. You have been doing the same thing.The removal of the Bluetooth features did not make sense for the S25 Ultra or the Tab S11 Ultra and the S Pen all together from the Fold 7, it has a big screen pretty much made for it. Even if I did not use the Bluetooth features every day doesn't mean they needed to be removed. I used them often for the media controls and remote camera shutter. We pay a premium device. Not a thin slab that will bend on my pocket or bag. Also, the switch to mediatek chips make buyers uneasy, the Snapdragon chip has been the best for years. Nothing, including your own chip have come close to it so, if we are just going to pay the same amount, I'd rather have the best. Also, changing the design of Watch 6 Classic, and take the black color away completely, why? The Watch 8 and Watch 8 Ultra has black. It makes no sense whatsoever. I know you can do better. You're not Apple or Google. Be bold, as you once we're. Push the envelope. Take the 25 Ultra design a move forward with good quality hardware and second to none software.

Thank you.

Samsung's decisions are not always perfect, but they are market driven and data based.

While they are desirable for many devoted users, the removed S Pen features are niche features that the overwhelming majority of general smartphone users do not consider essential.

While I don't have any special insight into what Samsung's roadmap looks like, these features are also probably being reduced to prepare the way for new universal charging standards like Qi2, which requires a magnetic array and can interfere with those S Pen features.

Keeping the Bluetooth S Pen features would not have affected anything as far as the phone functionality. Also, there has been information that has been circulating about a new screen technology for the S-Pen that does not affect the S Pen when magnets are introduced, therefore the Bluetooth function can be restored. The tablet does not wirelessly charge therefore does not need magnets to do so.

Samsung has also been known to make fun of Apple for something that they did wrong, then copy and paste. Several people probably thought that the Bluetooth features were gimmicky until they use them. For some reason companies have been taking the idea from the "market research" what the phones need to be thinner. Yeah, until they bend under little amounts of pressure. Where is this market research actually coming, Samsung product users or whatever everybody else is doing?

I'm glad it's going to be thinner. Thinner and lighter is a good thing for me. I also wish it was a bit smaller, but no luck there. We all have our opinions and they don't always agree.
