Anonymous, 10 Jan 2025Micro SD-Card +1 for you

I have completely forgotten that very useful memory card slot

Thank you for remembering

    Well, bummer, one of the last legacy of Galaxy Note series is being dismantled... Better just get the S24 Ultra, the Moto G Stylus, or full-fledged iPad Pro/Air. I know the data speaks for it and made Samsung decided to do it (Engineering Statistics perspective) but this will just lose another highlights on purchasing the S Ultra. Hyperbolic or not, iPhone 16 Pro Max may have something more USP than S25 Ultra 😮‍💨😵‍💫

      Makes no sense to remove it

        DarlingYext, 10 Jan 2025No, no no. You just don't get it, these "new"... moreAll the Ai features on my S23 Ultra are entirely worthless to me. Like, literally ALL of them. Just bunch of gimmicky highlights great for presentation and no practical use. In all the months I've maybe used 2 of them once each time. I think I used "Ai" captions once because I couldn't use speakers and once to erase something from a photo. And that's it.

The only thing stopping me to switch to fold was the bluetooth functionality. Might as well jump to fold 7 now.

                  This will never happen. Something that is used on a daily basis.The only thing that I miss on my Z Fold.
                  To all people that say S Pen is useless while never having owned such a device: you have no idea what you are talking about! The S Pen functions make the difference between the S Pen and the Stylus of all other devices.

                    The S-Pen was near useless before, now it is pointless

                      Well, that’s a bummer. I hardly see people with the S Ultra phones used the stylus as a stylus, but many do use it as a Bluetooth remote. I guess the data that Samsung has said otherwise.

                        It's completely and utterly worthless now.."

                        Hey, don't speak so badly of such a life changing feature! If Samsung were to remove the S Pen from the S Ultra devices, then they wouldn't just be worse devices than the rest of the competition, but they would have exactly 0 features that the rest doesn't have. Plus they wouldn't be able to claim that there is no space for a bigger battery and potentially a headphone jack anymore.

                          Which means S25+ is now getting closer to s25 Ultra since Ultra doesn't come with a built-in 'remote control' anymore.

You just don't get it, these "new" S25 series devices will be packed with features, AI features I mean, and nothing else, because everyone knows that hardware DOES NOT MATTER, only software is important.

                                You'd think with time, devices would be packed with features, instead they keep taking them away and jacking up the price. This nonsense needs to stop.

                                  (Totally unrelated, but does anyone know what sensor Honor uses for the M7Pros telephoto? HP3, or HP9? And the UW, is it still the OV50D?)

                                  Unlike Sammy, that's using a 10MP 1/3.52" 3x lens. 💀

                                    Why in the world would it use that feature? If it really does, then people will truly pay to get less.

                                    Might as well get a Moto G Stylus series device, if not even a $1000+ S Ultra will have Bluetooth functionality anymore.

                                      I really hope this isn't true
                                      I was really looking forward to buying this phone to replace my dying Note 20 Ultra which could shut down at any moment now but this would be a total deal breaker
                                      I would have to settle with the S24 Ultra otherwise

                                        Samsung skipping on features these days isn’t something that surprises me, but regarding this I can understand. I use the function for the camera, press the s-pen button to snap a picture. But other than that I don’t use the Bluetooth functionality of the s-pen that much. I have S22 Ultra.
