    This could be the reason why S Pen lost bluetooth support and air gestures - https://www.notebookcheck.net/Smart-ring-s-evolution-Samsung-Galaxy-Ring-could-command-your-tech.956966.0.html

      Honestly, wish they could have done without it entirely and dedicate that space to battery or camera hardware.

      It’s such a gimmicky add on to an otherwise polished device. I bet users who like it are the same group of people that feature on uselessredcircles.

        Samsung can't be that nuts to remove such a feature that makes their S Ultra series different from other flagships, even if they want to sell it separately in their future lineups it's not a good marketing strategy, I do hope that enough backlash can make them change their mind regarding this

            Samsung wasn't as popular in 2018 so they couldn't reallly advertise theese features. Maybe they are planning to bring it back on the s26 and advertise it as a "new" feature

            80% of people don't know that the spen has bluetooth since it hasn't been advertised and if they were to advertise it now they'd get hate for just readvertising a aleready here feature

              Spike, 05 Feb 2025They don't understand. Reason we buy Ultra is the S pen. The s-pen is 100% of the reason why I bought an S24 Ultra over a pixel or something like an asus Rog phone.

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.

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

                          ht1g09, 04 Feb 2025without the stylus, samsung ultra is a run of the mill phon... moreSadly not that easy. There are plenty ot styluses out there and many are precise and usable on any phone..but.. no noone is like Wacom. Also without proper software..
                          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.

                                    S pen pro already exists, I have one but they axed it already.

                                      shniderx93, 04 Feb 2025why the hell nobody mentions how important the S-Pen is for... moreAND FOR ART. let's not forget it. it's impossible to draw with a finger.
