base S2x buyer willing to pay for UWB but not for larger Plus/Ultra!

Price is not the issue, but lack of compatibility with my Teslas and other smart home accessories for precise location features is driving me crazy.  I need this to work and do not want to give up the small form factor. 

if not I will be forced to move to the apple ecosystem. I have held off against the iMessage issues but this is getting too much to handle.

 

please help

base S models do not support it ..it's a small chip and associated firmware needed for precise location for car doors and trackers ..S25+ and Ultra have it ..all iPhones have it

This is criminally IMHO not having UWB in an S Series phone.

the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has Ultra Wideband (UWB) connectivity. The base Galaxy S25 model does not include UWB, but it is included in the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra variants.

It's ridiculous that it doesn't. Sometimes I don't understand Samsung on something that cannot be that expensive to put in an S Series phone. The price can be offset by selling more Samsung Smart Tags.
