The reason I loved the note series was everything in it especially the Spen. They've removed so much now including removable battery and adding memory to it via card but the last hurrah would be losing the s-pen! This is what sets it apart from other phones. If its gone, I will never buy another Samsung as long as I live. Don't be cheap! These are hard times. I speak for everyone I know who also have changed from an IPhone many years ago, to the note series for the Bluetooth pen.

    They don't understand. Reason we buy Ultra is the S pen.

      Nooo! Don't remove the S Pen! Put one in the box, but don't ditch it altogether! 😟

        For handwriting recognition in multiple languages I still can't find SNotes replacement..

        I don't think they will remove the stylus from Ultra, it's just that they went in milking mode this year. S series, foldable series (according to leaks so far) and most likely A series too (if it comes out with that underpowered soc). All are kind of old one, but slightly nerfed.

            No s-pen = no Bluetooth = less radiation = less mutations on a cellular level.

            Awesome. I love it. Best idea coming from Samsung in a long time.
            Next I hope they ditch the sim card slot too just like Xiaomi did on a tablet recently 🤣
            No sim card slot seems to be the latest trend it seems, just like that creepy AI hype 😀
            Less sim card slots and less radiation that's actually good for human health. Don't hate me for writing that.
            How's that rich billionaire supposed to become 200 years old with all that unnecessary radiation going on?!
            Animals too they want less radiation Not more. I asked my dog the other day and that's exactly what he told me through telepathy.

              "Is Samsung thinking of ditching the S Pen" - no, they are not thinking, they already took decision to do this.

                without the stylus, samsung ultra is a run of the mill phone. many buy it because of inbuilt stylus. deepseeking for another phone with a stylus.

Even laptops, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck still uses it.

                          why the hell nobody mentions how important the S-Pen is for editing photos ??????? LITERALLY, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE MENTION IT !!!
                          it's simply a game changer when you need to fine tune images like artifacts, imperfections, or even pimples in the faces. other than that, it really comes in handy for other uses, I can't imagine having a primary phone with no S-pen, as I carry two phones ( note9+s23u) with me

There could just be compatible cases for a pen holder to add to any phone like a normal earpiece or usb accesory pocket. So then we're taking about a subset of the case and peripheral market, not a make it break flagship feature. It would benefit tho and all can drop it or add it how they choose.

                                    This is the main thing keeping me on buying their phones. If it goes, it's so much easier for me to do the same.
