The removal of the Bluetooth functions from the S-pen, predicated on the claim that data (that we will not be shown) shows that users don't use it very much. Let us ignore that you chose to remove the remote shutter functionality only 6 months after launching a new product that can do remote shutter functionality, and assume that this alleged research is real.
So you removed it...to what benefit?
The battery isn't bigger. The price isn't lower. The cost saving didn't get us more ram, a higher starting storage spec. Three of the four cameras aren't upgraded and the one upgrade was at least two years overdue. The redesign certainly isnt exciting enough to justify loss of functionality.
I love samsung products. I have gone to bat for you many times, and I have no plans as of right now to move out of the ecosystem. However, this is indefensible penny pinching at the cost of user experience and brand identity.
Wireless charging and accessories, the spen would have dead spots on the screen because of Bluetooth. Now that the coil with a case supports 25w wireless charging, those of us who don't give a hoot about wireless charging get shafted.
**bleep**.. i already have a "magbak" case on my 24 ultra every time I pull the pen out, it says due to magnets, it might not be as responsive.. Have yet to have a single issue. Also, use the pens Bluetooth frequently.
I'm so upset because I watch the unpack and of course I started pre-ordering while it was still going on so I just assumed you know Bluetooth was there then I do my pre-order and then I started seeing people saying no s pen Bluetooth! Why like the first post said it's no cost change or anything like that why would Samsung get rid of it? I swear they always have these great features and then they just start getting rid of them. I think I'm going to cancel my pre-order. I'll just wait until the 26 Ultra or 27 Ultra maybe they'll bring it back I don't know... This is BS Samsung!
