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

This is not the Samsung S pen forum but it's clearly obvious that everybody wants to discuss this. You can buy a Bluetooth enabled S pen that will work with the s25 it's like $50 US or something.

That's been disproven.

It does not have BT.

If Samsung designed the S25 Ultra S Pen to not have Bluetooth, there's no reason for Samsung to spend money installing the S Pen charging circuit. I'll bet money right now that if you put an S24 Ultra S Pen in the S25 Ultra, it won't charge and Air Command won't work.

Yes, unfortunately, only "1%" of users use the bluetooth... I'm sure 1% of users use all of the power available behind flagship processors, too... and I'm sure most users don't increase the screen resolution, which defaults to FHD... or UFS 4.0 storage and 200MP camera, the list goes on. These features are there for the 1% who use them, not the masses. The masses buy s24 or s24+ with FHD only screens and 50mp cameras.

Don't forget the 1% who uses all the AI **bleep**, or some of the photo manipulation tools.

I didn't even mention 8k recording, wifi 7, displayport, dex, hdr 10+, the list just goes on and on. They've pushed so hard into "ai" which is no more than summarize notes, summarize emails, summarize voice memo, summarize everything.

I literally just got my s24 ultra 1TB about 6 months ago and I was going to upgrade to the s25 Ultra because of the 50MP ultrawide, rounded corners, marginally more power, and an additional year of software updates. I could trade in and get the phone for just under $500, which is less than i got my s24 Ultra for. The S Pen was the deal breaker, and I guarantee they'll release an s26 Ultra with "new" bluetooth features, too. Also, let's be honest the tiny super capacitor in the s pen isn't why the phone is heavy...

Man ...Idk from where u get that 1% stats number from..but as a loyal samsung customer who's using phones from note 2 to s24 ultra this feature have been with note/ultra series for a long time and I personally use it a lot. This is a deal breaker for me ... as I have to downgrade my S Pen to upgrade my phone. S Pen without a Bluetooth is an orphan that ultra series doesn't need. They should completely remove the S pen instead of removing its features

Extremely disappointed with Samsung removing S 25 Ultra S Pen's air gestures. This is a deal breaker for me. I have been using samsung phones from note2 to S22 ultra, I use this feature a lot and surprised to see samsung removing a feature that's there from note 2 series. I have no plans in downgrading my S Pen. So, sorry samsung you lost my loyalty with S25 ultra. 

There are rumors around samsung selling the S pen with Bluetooth as "S pen pro". If that's the case, Ultra badge mean nothing. Hope you fix this ASAP samsung.
