Hi. Thanks, and I found comparisons on Samsung, too. I looked right after I asked. Thank you.

Yes, the display is more responsive for touch response. The Ultra Wide camera is SO MUCH BETTER, I use that lens a lot. Mobile Hotspot 2 .0 is really faster. Every thing about this phone is blazing fast.

The 2 biggest things going from the s23u to the S25U, Gorilla Armor glass outside is game changing. The 2nd is the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 5G-RF modem is a vast improvement over the x75 modem in my apartment.

I am writing to vent because I am extremely disappointed with myself for jumping the gun on purchasing the S25 ultra.  The only reason I traded in my Note 20 ultra was because the camera wasn't that great any more but the phone itself was one of the best phones samsung has come out with. The Note 20 ultra was sleek, lightweight and in a lane of it's own.  Now your phones look like iPhones. Why . If I wanted an iPhone I would purchase an iPhone. I guess I will have to start shopping around for a sleeker phone and not just another brick.

I am a huge fan of the Samsung Ultras. The S pen is my favorite feature of the device and I use it A LOT. I recently upgraded to the 25 Ultra, love the phone and design. But, for whatever reason, Samsung decided to remove the S Pen remote capabilities. The S Pen is just a stylus now. I am extremely upset and mind blown that they would downgrade what makes this the Ultra... I am still within my return time frame. I'm going to stay with my 22 Ultra and hope Samsung makes it right next year. 

Its upsetting that this was not disclosed during launch.

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.

[KaoticGoddess]

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

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