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

I heard rumors of an SPen Pro for the 25 Ultra, but have yet to be able to find anything legit about it.

During one of our sessions today at the Unpacked event, the Samsung manager confirmed that the S25 Ultra S Pen does not have Bluetooth. He said that the data showed that the Air actions weren't heavily used by users and removing Bluetooth helped with overall device battery life.

That's funny, all I've heard since that info came out is complaints that they removed it. I mean it only served 3 purposes - pen, air actions and camera. So they've taken away 2 of the 3 purposes?

FYI, the camera control is part of Air actions.

[crimsonrckstr17]

I just meant most people only use it for those 3 reasons. Regardless of what controls what. I want to work my camera from my pen, hover over the screen and double click my pen to open the magnifier or translator and write notes or draw with the pen. If you get the S25 Ultra you can only write notes and draw.

I will most likely be sticking with my S22 Ultra over the s pen Bluetooth. The S25 Ultra is a substantial upgrade but I don't want just a pen. While I admit I have only used the camera sitter feature a handful of times, it's there when I want it. With the S25 I will never have the option. Very disappointed. It could've even been been an add-on feature to order for those who want it, but they can't charge a monthly fee for it like they will for AI features so it's gone.

If you guys want to make money never take the Bluetooth function and Air Commands off the S Pen that's how you don't sell things you guys are listening to the wrong people you're listening to a very Niche amount of people with this AI s*** you want to make money build the S Pen into the fold phone and work on battery that's what regular people you know the mass who buy your phones want in all Aspen features not just a pin that writes on the screen and you lose the best features which are Air Commands whole reason I'm not upgrading to s25 ultra is that you ruin the S-Pen

No Bluetooth S pen for the 25 ultra 🤬🤬 will not be upgrading. Way to drop the ball Samsung 🤡🤡

Yep. I cancelled my pre-order. So disappointed. I've upgraded my phone every year since the Note 4. I've always found an excuse to upgrade no matter how asinine it was.This'll be the first time that I will not upgrade. The S-pen and it's many features is what pulled me in. Now they're taking features away for no good reason.
