I really don't see why samsung is doing this to us. The S pen is our bragging rights

      Yes quite often. Useful feature so shld not be removed...

        Anonymous, 03 Feb 2025What are you talking about? You can use the S Pen to write notes.Actually my entire comment's approach was more to save space within the body, not on individual features. Yes, I know it takes notes.

        Wired+Wireless can save space within the body, considering a small body.
        Wired, can definitely save huge space considering no battery. The design of the wire will have to be a mature one, to be good looking and non-entangling at the same time.

        And anyways, Samsung says around 1% use it regularly, so why should wired be a bother? A wired S-Pen is better than no S-Pen, isn't it?

          It's a very nice feature and it should not have been removed.
          I use it all the time on my s22 ultra.

              I don't use them often but when I do it's very useful in that situation. It's like a savings account, seat belt or air bag: I don't use it regularly but it's really important that it's there when I need it

                Samsung can't understand the main thing, it means nothing if we were using s pen full features or not, they took main feature "ultra" users could brag about and main reason we could go for ultra ! We could rarely use it, but WE COULD USE IT WHENEVER WE WOULD NEED ! Now we are free to buy any phone and get any stylus we want it we may need it. SAMSUNG ! YOU WENT CHEAP CHARGING US SAME !!!

                          The best for me is the remote control for the camera, that's my personal favorite and most used feature.

                            I always use the remote function as I can take group photos with the s pen with everyone in it. I use it to scroll when my phone is on a stand.

                              well...I always take selfies handheld or find a kind a person to take photo for me when I'm with friends/family. taking pictures by yourself using a gadget is rather difficult. it is not possible to place the phone in a good position and align yourself in the frame due to your surroundings. you can always show palm or say cheese to trigger shutter remotely.

                                  because the other features not reliable enough.
                                  even the shutter button wasn't working as i want it to sometimes
