Vivo Pencil Stylus has a built-in 4A high density battery, if you use the Pencil 2 hours per day, you can use it a full year.
This is a pen for their tablet, which has a battery in it, so why exactly did you mention it?

Because Samsung wants to upsell the customers with their Samsung Ring (which costs around $300 a pop) or Samsung Watch (which costs $60 a pop, minimum) to be able to use the air action, while also insult the customer's intelligence saying that there are "only a handful of people" that use the S-pens bluetooth function, which is total bs.
It's no different from removing the headphone jack so that the company can upsell you with their first-party air buds (I say first party because eventually, any company has the power to remove the bluetooth function of any third-party air buds that they do not like. It can and it will happen.).

You were telling us we don't need the 3.5jack, SD slot,... its "outdated"
Now the thing YOU use is "outdated", nobody uses it see "the stats"
Told you its gonna keep coming if we let them
Wellcome to our side, we won't make fun of you like you did of us
New addition:
No Bluetooth pen - no buy
(I don't even use the Ultra but am with you guys)

Classic tricks so you can not reuse what you have (that would be actually good for the planet) instead you have to buy "the same" but newer product
Why you think no old phone case fits a newer phone even if by a few mm, classic greed

This from a person who is paid at ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to troll Samsung. You get what you pay for, even if you didn't want it don't need it, and can't stand it
Time to make it at home, shouldn't be so hard as it now has absolutely nothing in it... each one of your comment..

How Samsung knows only 1% of S24U users were using the Bluetooth-related features on their phones... do they have access to this tiny bit of usage details of the phone or are these phones sending all the data to Samsung server that we store on it...?

Getting rid of the Bluetooth function on the S Pen is a sign of when stats don't tell you the real truth. Yes, I barely use the function, but when I do, I need it. I've got an S22 Ultra (my wife has an S24 Ultra), I was going to upgrade this year, but without the Bluetooth support, I'll stick with my S22
