I just recently purchased the Ultra 25 in store unfortunately I wasn't able to get the Ultra 24 as they are scarce/if available at all, since the newer 25 phone release.  I am disappointed that the S Pen does not have blue-tooth capabilities particularly being able to use the S Pen as my selfie picture taker.  Will Samsung eventually put out an update or provide a fix for this?  Also, with the new default text messaging application, there are customizable capabilities missing that were in the previous default Samsung messaging app.  Specifically the ability to hide text content when the text notification pops up while using other apps. Now you can only hide text content on the lock screen but if you're using the phone and a text notification pops up, it shows the text detail.  Another disappointment! If I'm using my phone and showing someone something, I do not want my text message detail to show.

I get the disappointment with the Bluetooth feature being removed from the S25 Ultra S-pen. But it was not used very much under previous versions that had it. I think the biggest obstacle to using that feature is that it took two hands when taking photos when one only is needed one to do that task in the first place.

 

As far as the Samsung message app, that no longer comes pre-installed, but that app can be downloaded form the Galaxy Store updated to the latest version and used. I take it you used Google messages? Anyway, f on eis not happy with the device and they have every right to want the features they like, and should return the phone. Also, it is a good idea to check out what is included with any new device before purchasing it. That way one can make a more informed choice.

Yes, everyone uses their respective devices differently and feature preferences vary from person to person.  Unfortunately, regardless of the research and reviewing of the phone I did prior to buying, I no longer had the option of purchasing the Ultra 24 which still had the features I used / was looking for since the 25 came out and saturated the market. 

Thanks for the feedback.

You do know you can just use your voice or a hand wave to snap a selfie.

What is not always possible about using your voice or hand wave? It is quicker than pulling out the pen and searching for the button on the pen.

Thanks but I need the 500+GB storage which is what my Ultra 25 is.

I just bought a 512 GB S24 Ultra in January. You'd be willing to trade straight up?

Oh true I haven't found a need for more than 256 but I can confirm 128gbs is unacceptable
