Been seeing some awesome pics and vids of the jet black. I have the jade green and it's meh.

Yep, that is what I did, and no regrets. $1278 in savings to go from a 512mb S24 to a 1TB S25 was a no brainer for me.

Which color?

[dwschuffert]

Jet black.

With the Bluetooth functionality removed from the S Pen, I'm left wondering what the "Ultra" part of the S25 Ultra actually is. I was ready to preorder it... since I rely on the S Pen to use the phone accurately, the S25U is actually a downgrade from the S24 Ultra. I'll keep what I have, then, and save the money. This article perfectly conveys the concern many of us have about Samsung's complacency and insistence on playing it safe too long - instead of innovating.

You're really NOT losing much because they took the Bluetooth function away! I've always been a Note fan and can't tell you the last time I used the pen to take pictures or used the pen for some sort of presentation. Hand gestures along with timers work just as fine!

[The_Chief]

Great Horace - so YOU'RE not losing much. Speak for yourself, though... some of us ARE.

[realaud]

Yet, you bought the phone anyway.

[The_Chief]

Uh, no I didn't: in fact, lack of a Bluetooth S Pen was a showstopper for me. I'm content with the S24 Ultra and I'll save my money, hoping Samsung gets some sense with the S26 Ultra.

You're not going to notice a big difference from 1 generation to the next, so do every 2-3 generations, then upgrade.
