S-Pen what is wrong with Samsung?

[LAndre]

The S-Pen in Samsung phones used to be black, dark, rubberized, great feeling.

On the S25 Ultra Samsung decided to make it beige? Plastic touch, no rubberized feeling.

So, on a wooping 1000+ euros Flagship phone and they dont even bother to paint the freeking 50€ S-Pen? 

Not even mentioning the lack of features of the S-Pen, this year is the year of AI nobody asked for.

Seems this is my last Samsung. What do you feel about this cheep not-so-Ultra S25?

If you want to look like Harry Potter waving his wand, then i get why you are unhappy, companies do what they think is the best for the majority whilst still keeping an eye on the budget and what they can realistically charge consumers. Me personally, I like using the watch, ring, phone altogether...more James Bond than Harry Potter!! As for Ai, its just progression, whether you want it or not, its everywhere and not going away any time soon!!

It's obviously a cost cutting exercise. They would have looked at ways to reduce the cost of manufacture. They've ran some market research to see how many people used the Bluetooth feature then decided to remove it.

I was under the impression once you've used it as in set it up if you return it you'll be charged a percentage up to 20 per cent of the phone initial cost

This may be the case. You would need to read the terms and conditions of returns and I am sure these may change in different regions.

I understand cost cutting, but seems that everyone seems to forget, this is the ULTRA! Should be the best, with all the rest, no cutting corners, its a very expensive smartphone. @Joshkh I dont care about gestures, but in the end adds up to that... the S-Pen is beige... in a jet black phone! Yes AI is here to stay but its a % of what you pay for the phone, people still think they make it free for one year, nothing is free my friend.
