Has the S25 Ultra lost the S-PEN features?

[Arda7327]

As someone who switched from iPhone to Samsung for the first time, I pre-ordered the S25 Ultra, but I have seen videos that the functions of the stylus from previous models are completely lost in the new model (remote control, Air actions...). Is there any logic in removing all features including Bluetooth control? It was a feature that interested me a lot in terms of usage. There should be an explanation about this!

Hi.

Apparently Samsung has found out not many use the above features and probably though it could save money by removing those features.

Not sure exactly why they did it but Yeah no Bluetooth stuff with the Spen.

Personally never used them myself except for the odd Spen for camera shutter. 😊

Yes the Bluetooth functionality has been discontinued. 

Basicly after hearing from the head of product development today.

It's mainly down to lack of use. They carefully looked into the usage of the S Pen and just not enough use the Bluetooth functionality. 

There are other ways to control the camera for example. 

But I guess if enough people provide feedback,  then it could return in a future model

A totally backwards move from Samsung very very disappointed with Samsung taking away the S-Pen Bluetooth functionality and NO 16gb RAM NO real camera hardware upgrades 50mp ultrawide but none of the other cameras NO 65W super fast charging Samsung had better sort this out for the S26 ULTRA otherwise i'll be looking for another mobile phone company like oppo etc

What a load of rubbish lack of usage it's just a cost cutting exercise by Samsung like NO 16gb RAM NO real camera upgrades 50mp wide angle yeah NO 65W super fast charging Samsung had better wake up and very quickly otherwise loyal customers like me will look at other mobile phone company's

It's up to the individual weather to use the spen features, not samsung.

Removing bluetooth function from s pen means simply keeping a stylus inside the phone. That is stupid, this is really disappointing. I been a Samsung user for 7 years now and hoping to upgrade to s25 ultra but I changed my mind. Not valuing the customers, so I am planning to check out other Android devices.

I wanted to upgrade but... never mind... I will stick to my S24U, and the next phone, probably S24U... I wanted larger screen and better camera, S24U still not that bad though, plus I love it, and I realised its not yet the time to upgrade... maybe S26U or S27U next meaningful upgrade... if you bring back the SPen as it used to be... one of the Samsung Phones Power features, that you forgot to appreciate... 😞

Why not try the s24 ultra that's still a great phone and still got plenty of years to come for usage
