Disappointed the S25 has 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

Update: Samsung took the feature away so that they can sell it as an option instead... I hear the OnePlus is going to be really good this year so I'm going to check it out. I get that Samsung is a business but customer loyalty it's extremely important in today's economy where people upgrade because of the brand since the features are only incrementally better each year. When it feels like things are moving backwards and the only upgrade is a software update that I'll get with the S24 Ultra and a slightly faster processor, I think I'll be fine and save the $500 to close the deal for the new s25 Ultra and the $60 for a new S-Pen that I would need to replace the one I use now... I've gotten the S line since my first Galaxy S9 and I'm just really not sure about this one. When you take away a feature that people get used to, like the headphone Jack, you have to give more in return. What are we getting in return that justifies the cost?

Legitimately considering cancelling my order. I took a chance pre-ordering but everything about this phone is nothing worth upgrading. I use my S pen all the time so I'm so irritated. I have ChatGPT premium so what am I really getting from this phone? They claimed noone was using it but how did they figure that out? I think the issue was most likely people had no idea. Everyone I've showed the pen thought it was awesome taking photos. They're just trying to cut as much cost as possible without giving you much new outside of software.... AI is software.

Yup, will be sticking with the s24 ultra for awhile.

It was false report. There is no BT enable S-pen for the S25U. I'd recommend just getting the S24U if you haven't already. They should be massively discounted in a few days.

You can always use your Galaxy Watch if you have one to take photos remotely.

[KirkLazarus]

What if we don't have the watch and don't want to spend $300 to do something that was already integrated into the prior S-pen?

I was about to pre-order the S25 Ultra when I realized the S-Pen has been downgraded and I wouldn't be able to take photos any more. The most important feature in the Ultra lineups is the pen. How do you expect me to pay so much for a downgrade? AI features are cool but too ephemeral compared with the S-Pen. I will stick to my S23 Ultra and wait till next year. Hopefully, Samsung will fix this huge mistake.

I just wrote them a paragraph about this very thing and that the company stop innovating

[RedDragon]

Samsung offers Galaxy S25 ultra S-pen with bluetooth on separate purchase. It is available on amazon for $20. And no you cannot use S-pen from S24 Ultra. This is due to high demand in Bluetooth Spen for S25 Ultra

No, they don't. I dont know what compels you to make things up in a support forum.

[TheRabbi]

Even if they did, crippling a product just to sell you what should have been in it to begin with is NOT a good look.
