    I didn't use the Bluetooth feature ever. But I understand why people would be annoyed by it. Especially when you realize the reason they removed it was to get people to buy their other devices to use it.

    What up CJ and I got the same exact color. Got mine yesterday around 11am. It was either this or the grey for solid color all around. I absolutely love this device, one ui is so smooth and fast. The small redesign makes the phone feel great in the hand and being light. The display is fantastic. Time to sit my black 16pm down aside for a bit. The only Bluetooth feature in the s pen I miss is for the camera but it’s not game ending, but I will say Samsung has removed IR blaster, micro sd card, no qi2 built in MagSafe, no headphone jack and now the s pen blue tooth. But alas I still love the device.

    I am coming from a Note 10plus and will be upgrading to the S24 Ultra. I love the boxy design and it looks more premium while the s25 ultra looks like a big screen A series. Also the Spen has bluetooth functionality making it the last true sibling of the Note. If you are paying $1300 for a phone it supposed to live up to the Ultra name

    The S-Pen downgrade was the deal breaker for me. I will hang on to my S-24 Ultra CJ. Just don't understand this move. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Let's see what the S26 will bring. If they continue this trend, It'll be time for me to move on and search for other alternatives.

    I mean I have the s24 ultra and never used the bluetooth feature, for Samsung it is a cost while people don't use it and they want to keep the phone somewhat afforable or at least not more expensive then last year. I don't get why some people are overeacting on that as if they were using it everyday haha. Maybe for them it's just the idea, but for me I love the smaller bezzels and so big amazing display, better battery (even if it is still 5000) it is better because it's not all about the size of the battery itself (look at iPhone). The camera's did improve somewhat and the speakers as well, sure if you have the s24 ultra you do not need to upgrade, but it is not marketed to people that already have the s24 ultra. It is for anyone who needs an upgrade for whatever reason that might be. About the design not changing much is logical as well, there is only so little these phone brand can do, they should keep it to their own "style"'. They can not literally use someone elses design. There will probably come a moment where there will be a bigger chance on the back, but on the front things won't change much either because it still needs to be practical haha, maybe that the front camera dissapears on screen when watching content for the future to come.

  • @greenzgoblin3138

    I used the Bluetooth Spen maybe 10x ever. 6 out of those times was family reunion photos when I had the phone set up on a tripod. And the other times was to show my iPhone friend how dope my phone was besides that never. Not a deal break for me but it was stupid to take it away.

    They downgraded the camera from the S23 ultra 100x zoom last year on the S24 ultra.

    I'm on Pixel but I'm liking the new software and the design. BUT the phone comes with pre downloaded Samsung apps which take up a lot of space and the cameras are not as good as pixel. Makes it hard to switch back. I wouldn't mind trying one out. Samsung though is going down the apple route the last few years and it's kinda annoying because they would do their own thing and it felt special.

We might as well find the best display tech, one that won't become a smudge fest after 3 months. Maybe we could even go a little further & get idk a better IP69 rating for the hell of it. Now that SAMSUNG has decided to clip the Ultra's wing & take it's magic.
