I definitely need to upgrade my phone. Taking my time and weighing my options. I made a couple posts about what phone I should get next that still have a valid inactive S-pen and someone suggested Samsung ultra, the 22 because the S-pen is still Bluetooth connected to that one and not the others. Is that accurate? My next question is has anyone been able to compare the photo capabilities between the newer Samsung phones like the 22 and up, with the Google Pixel? I don't really want to get the Google pixel but I'm trying to figure out if there are some workarounds for the photo capabilities where I can still use my Samsung phones. I want to stay with Samsung and I'm going to, I just want to know some workarounds. I'm sure Samsung is going to add some things if they haven't already, I don't mind waiting. It's worth it.. Please only answer with relevant information, don't post comments about you having a tapeworm in your eye or some other physical ailment and then trying to relate it to a phone... Yes, I've had that. Check the comments on my post just before this one. LoL #Wild.... I did report it because it was kind of funny but then I was also trying to understand what that person was dealing with haha didn't wanna be inconsiderate. But still...

I wouldn't know about the photos with a Pixel since I've never held one. However, I can say the photos on the S24 and S25 series have been amazing. If you need Bluetooth in the S-Pen, I'd suggest getting the S24 Ultra. So far, only the S25 Ultra didn't include it, but they may add it back on the S26 Ultra.

Galaxy phones and Pixels both take great photos, and you can't really go wrong in that department. Galaxy takes more vibrant photos with colors ramped up, pixel tends to produce softer photos and strives more for color realism.

If a stylus is a must, Ultras are your only real remaining option. S24U is the last to retain all Bluetooth features... wouldn't expect to see them return in future generations, imo.
