Is Samsung planning to discontinue the S Pen?

[RISKYTAP]

Yes, because the S Pen in the S25 Ultra is merely a stylus, lacking additional functionality. This decision is concerning, especially considering the extensive S Pen usage among loyal S24 Ultra users like myself who expected continued integration in future models.

Samsung's approach is irresponsible towards its dedicated fanbase and long-term customers.

If the situation deteriorates further, I will transition to an iPhone upon the release of the S30 Ultra.

Thank you.

#Samsung, you really let down most of your loyal fans.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. My research showed that this is due to only 1% using this feature. But I think its a stupid move, and I think their aim is to push people to buy watches and rings to control the camera of the phone. Which is a bad move. This feature started from the Note 9, and I am very sad to see it go. I hope they bring it back.

Hopefully, people will fight for its return and post about it, at least.
Why would they care? They should have kept the feature and let it stay. They remove it like 💔Spen Bluetooth service holding additional space in it? That's a ridiculous joke of Samsung

I believe they can bring that functionality in a software update.

[Dr_Sadesh_Abey]

How can they do that? The hardware needs to be built into the pen ne.. I don't think it's there anymore

[RISKYTAP]

I think it's there. Samsung might activate it, ya know, 'cause they're risking their fanbase. But no promises

Youtuber Jerry, rig everything might show us what inside.

Cost cutting 😌😮‍💨

Exactly, they are pushing people to buy watches and rings to get remote access. Very few percentage of people using air gestures. But this is a feature which makes samsung better. I really like that feature, btw.

[RISKYTAP]

Honestly, it's not about how many use it's about what it can do?
Why would they remove they should not mind about it at sll they can just keep it there and go on?

[Joe787]

I was thinking the same thing. I've had the S23U and now the S24U and never used the s-pen. Removing it would make more room for a bigger battery and camera module. But it's tough for people who use it. They might make it a separate accessory.

[RISKYTAP]

🔫 🗿 Tell me how removing Bluetooth makes space for battery?
(Physically)
Adding an optional purshasable pen would solve the matter?

Who in the world would hand carry Fragile Spen when there's a capability to put the pen inside the phone and pull our whenever you need it?


Your thoughts make sense, but not adequate,
Yes, some people dont use it, but these features, even for them sometime become so useful,

It's been 14 years of people who buy Samsung willing for this pen features that what make Samsung unique 😑
