DITTO here. Have been a Note user since the Note 1.
Very dissapointing when products come with "reduced" features.
This may be my last Samsung phone

I'm sad when Samsung take out the important Bluetooth function from Spen, I use it on my presentation and photo shooting.
I don't think you need to buy Ultra if the provide Spen without Bluetooth, also Samsung must consider to bring back the Bluetooth Spen for s25 ultra, please update the system and allow user to connect another Bluetooth Spen on s25 ultra and fix this problem.
It is totally a step back if we can't use Bluetooth spen to control the ultra phone, no point to buy it at all!!! Customer can choose cheaper version like S25 or S25 plus when Spen is the Main selling point on ultra.

Hi On the S25 Ultra go to Settings  Advanced features  S Pen  S Pen remote then enable Camera control. You can now use your S Pen to take photos or start stop video recording.

@alamin753 There is no "Camera control", not even in an earlier device. In earlier devices there is phone settings -> Advanced features -> S Pen -> Air actions. Camera control is a part of Air actions on those devices. There is no Air actions on an S25 Ultra.
