Galaxy S
I'm sharing my disappointment with the recent Galaxy S25 series launch, especially the S25 ultra. I had high hopes for this release, and I'll be discussing certain features on recent devices.
Things which I am extremely dissatisfied with your year-on-year launch
1. Every year flagship phone like s and note starting from 2019 onwards, first we lost iris scanner on s10 and note 10 devices along with removal of SD card slot in note 10 base model and headphone jacks in both note 10 and note 10 plus devices.
2. In note 10 series we lost hr monitor on the back of the phone no don't tell me it was the gimmick if it was gimmick then why the h you introduce in s5 which was launched way back in 2014 / 15 ( sorry if I got the date and year wrong) why continued that feature for nearly 5 years and then removed it in note 10 devices
3. Iris scanner why introduce iris scanner in note 7, s8 note 8 and s9 and note 9 devices when you all planned it to discontinue in the 2019 devices
4. Removal of SD card slot in s6 which was failed attempt then release in s7 and continued till 2020 flagship models like s20 and note 20
5. Removal of MST was also not justified at all though in today's standard we don't need it anymore but is good to have that feature when NFC based payment system failed
6. Removal of air actions why introduce it was back in note 9 devices and continued till s24 ultra if your plan was to discontinue it then why even bother to introduce that Bluetooth spen in the first place
7. Removal of hp jack was inevitable but why mock apple to not having hp jack and same goes with charger in the box
8. Now with s25 ultra you also took away the iconic boxy design as well
9. Curved screen when you knew that curved was fragile then why you Samsung people went for it
10. Then you removed the note devices and merged with s series, and now you are at the verge of removing the spen
11. Then you removed the DEX function for windows and macOS
Guys let me know what all fan favorite features I am missing add it in the comment section I will edit the post as well.
But Samsung I want to tell you something that if you are not sure about the permanent or retaining features then never introduce them in the first
Why downgrade flagship device year-on-year
I am sorry to say that being a Samsung user for a long time, I am extremely disappointed with the current state of Removal of fan favorite features.
Let me tell you Samsung if you never were so sure about the features never introduce them in the first place
Removing the spen Bluetooth function did hit hard in my heart after the Removal of iris scanner and heart rate
I won't be surprised if you will remove the spen as well
Tell me Samsung how it is justified to us consumers who are paying a hefty amount for the flagship device, yet we are getting less and less feature year-on-year launches of device how should I as consumer justified to pay over, 150000
Only to get less and less features every year
Guys, please copy and paste this post and add what ever you feel about this Removal of features
And let me know about what you say about current Removal of features

Galaxy SOne of the main highlight of an Ultra is the S Pen and they just made it a useless stick with capability to just draw and that's it.
I really enjoyed the Pen during any group trips coz we didn't need someone to take group pictures, I could do it with just my Pen.
All the features will anyway come to the S24 Ultra then why bother buying a 25.
They did the same thing with the Fold series. The Fold 6 is exactly same as 5 which was same as 4 which was same as 3. And after just 2 months they bring Special Edition in China which looked like an upgrade but I guess the world doesn't deserve it.

Galaxy SMy first Galaxy was an S3 Mini VE (GT-I8200). It has a lot of cool features such as air gestures, smart stay, eye based scrolling, etc. Then I've got an S5 (SM-G900F), had my first fingerprint unlock, tracked my heart rate and so on. Fast forward to 2017 which happens to be the peak Galaxy S period in my opinion. I've got the S8 (SM-G950F) and I fell in love with this device. From the design to the hardware/software and the iris scanner. I've never enjoyed using a phone this much inmy whole life. I've been using my S8 for nearly 7 years, and when it finally was time to upgrade, I've got an S24 Ultra (SM-S928B). I've always wanted a phone with an SPen and I was so happy that I finally got one. The Air Command and Air Actions are a game changer for me. Whether for productivity or having fun, it has it all. Now after that Samsung has removed the BLE functionality from the SPen, about 50% of the SPen is gone. Which is really sad and it's a huge step backward. The ability to use the SPen as a remote control for the Camera, DeX and navigating through the UI in general is gone. This decision is one of the worst ever made, in the context of merging the Note with S Ultra, and then slowly removing the SPen, which was one of the main unique features of a Galaxy.

Galaxy SS25 in my perception is an innovation experiment gone horribly wrong. Samsung lovers had high expectations from S25. When S25 specs leaked they felt deceived.
S25 is nothing but remodeled toy of S24 with snap dragon and a measly 50MP UW.
To summarise S25 is a disaster waiting to unfold.

Galaxy SWhat you did?
- removed bluetooth from spen (because of they say only 1% of user is using it)
- removed curved edges(because repair cost is high, mis touch, hard to reach the edges with spen)
What you could have done?
- its easy to say no one is using so we removed. Its hard for users so we removed it, Instead bring up with more ideas how to make it useful for more users and how to make it easy for users (dont forget the 1% is the reson behind the 99% going for samsung [ofcourse little exaggeration])

Galaxy SEven the phones now look like iPhones!
Buds are the same, same with watch, so it's a given they will get rid of the SPen soon.
They could not even implement the bloody Qi2 magnets without a bloody case!
Won't be getting any more S series devices, S24 Ultra would be the last one.
Will be switching over to iPhone 16 for my secondary device.
Why settle for copycat without any innovations
