For years, the S Pen on Galaxy Ultra was a working instrument for me — not a toy.
Previously I could select an area, pin it to screen, or share it in 1–3 seconds.
Now I spend the same time or even longer just waiting for the feature to appear and “load,” instead of immediately doing the action.
What kind of user experience — and what emotions — does this contrast produce?
From seamless, precise flow to waiting and friction: irritation, rejection, and a clear sense that the product moved away from real use.
It feels like the focus shifted from functional efficiency to flashy effects.
When a work tool is turned into entertainment, it stops being needed.
This is a serious push to consider a different brand for my next phone — because I need a tool, not a toy.
