Yeah hopefully they re add it next year it was all over the internet for weeks that the Bluetooth functionality was removed from the s pen

[Robin621k]

Technically all they have to do is software update and release a Bluetooth pen.
The charging coil is still there according to tear down of the phone done by Zach Nelson.

Apparently that's a pen detector and not a inductive charging coil

[TipsyTrex]

It was disclosed during launch, they just did the equivalent of whispering it really quietly.

Honestly almost even model before the s25 ultra was better than this. They just keep removing features.

[ScottyUK]

Why buy it when the removal of BT in the S-pen has had so much coverage?

[Eagle85]

Because not everyone follows all the tech chatter. I like my phone but I don't spend hours researching features. When my current phone is time to tradw in / upgrade for no change in paymen. I usually do a basic review and agree. I have never lost what I consider an preferred feature before.

[Eagle85]

Removing the Bluetooth Features of the S Pen make it basically worthless to me. Why is this un Upgrade?

Don't care about translate or AI. I want gestures and the ability to control the camera remotely. 

Why take a "flagship" platform and downgrade a key feature. I am very unhappy.  This is my 4th Galaxy and I am disappointed and feel stuck with this phone for 2 years. Likely won't be going with Samsung again.

I know right? so annoying

The fact that Bluetooth was not going to be part of the S25 Ultra S-pen, was known well before it was released.

I get people are bummed about that, but what I do not get is people complaining about features etc that have been removed and not looked into before purchasing. People getting upset over these features no longer being available especially when this device runs almost $1300 without looking into what features are or are not included, should question whether their purchases are objectively considered or impulsive.
