No S-Pen Bluetooth Connectivity

[ButtaBean_420]

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

Yes I saw the picture but didn't see any mention if spen change or Bluetooth in what I read I'm debating on getting it

[Fadi1985]

You can buy it, I will buy the S25 ultra for sure. But the s pin no longer remote control .which the S24 ultra has it?

[meself]

Either the s24 or s25 I will get not sure which one

[Fadi1985]

Of course, get the new S25 ultra.

[meself]

Leaning that way I held off on 24 as I started seeing the s25 reports

[Fadi1985]

It's a smart idea to get the newest phone just released, but there's no problem with the s24 family. That will be a good choice, saving more money.

An unconfirmed rumor?  Perhaps Samsung found another way for the S-Pen to do what it does.  What, indeed, would be the point of having the S-Pen in the first place if it could only act as a stylus?

My sentiments exactly. I use the pen as a shutter remote, zooming in and out.

The main reason besides it being cheaper to remove it is the 25W wireless charging, Bluetooth interference with the magnets, they don't like each other. I don't use wireless charging, never did. Wireless chargers are inefficient and always on, waste electricity. While as an individual, it is negligible, millions and millions add up.

I don't use wireless charging either. You *still* have to put the phone on a charger to charge, so what does it save, the 2 seconds it takes to plug the cord into the phone? Not like it charges OTA or anything like that.

The s pen not having remote shutter would be a deal breaker for me upgrading from my 23 ultra if I wasn't already decided
