I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, expecting it to be an improvement over previous models. However, I was extremely disappointed to discover that the S Pen no longer has Bluetooth functionality, meaning I can’t use it as a remote shutter for the camera or perform air gestures.
This change makes the S Pen almost useless for me. One of the main reasons I chose the Ultra series was for these functionalities, and now they are completely gone. If I had known this before buying, I would have never purchased this phone.
Right now, the S Pen feels like just a basic stylus, which is a huge downgrade. This decision has completely ruined my experience, and I feel like I wasted my money on a feature that no longer provides real value.
I hope Samsung acknowledges this mistake and finds a way to improve the S Pen functionality, because in its current state, it’s just disappointing.
