Samsung this was definitely a deal breaker for me as I use Air Actions every day I was going to upgrade but I'm now sticking with my S24 Ultra I mean seriously Air Actions was the main selling point of the S-Pen

It's a smart idea to get the newest phone just released, but there's no problem with the s24 family. That will be a good choice, saving more money.

An unconfirmed rumor?  Perhaps Samsung found another way for the S-Pen to do what it does.  What, indeed, would be the point of having the S-Pen in the first place if it could only act as a stylus?

My sentiments exactly. I use the pen as a shutter remote, zooming in and out.

The main reason besides it being cheaper to remove it is the 25W wireless charging, Bluetooth interference with the magnets, they don't like each other. I don't use wireless charging, never did. Wireless chargers are inefficient and always on, waste electricity. While as an individual, it is negligible, millions and millions add up.

I don't use wireless charging either. You *still* have to put the phone on a charger to charge, so what does it save, the 2 seconds it takes to plug the cord into the phone? Not like it charges OTA or anything like that.

The s pen not having remote shutter would be a deal breaker for me upgrading from my 23 ultra if I wasn't already decided

Yes, you're right, does 25? Ultra just released and removed the Bluetooth from the s. Pen, that's mean, you can't take a picture from it
