Why do that Samsung (S25 Ultra) not so Ultra anymore

[Jacques88]

Why would Samsung change only 3 things, 

1. Rounded corners 

2. SoC that's only slightly faster 

3. Wide angle lense

and at the same time kill the S Pen 🤷 not even my wife wants to upgrade her base S23 512gb ☠️

My S24 Ultra will be the last if Samsung don't bring back S Pen features in next devices.

For point 1, it's because the Note transition is complete so now it's back to being an S device.

For point 2, SoC tech is becoming so good that they can only make minimal improvements.

For point 3 similar to point 2 minimal changes to justify the 'upgrade'.

I'm also bummed out about the S Pen downgrade. The remote camera shutter is very much useful.

Hopefully if Samsung does implement the new battery technology that the East is using, they can bring it back next year.

The remote shutter is now possible via AI....

There's other ways to use the remote shutter but the S Pen clicker was the best convenience due to subtlety instead of raising your hand, as an example

[Munatsi399]

Yeah I know but the developer had other plans

They have ruined the magic wand (S-pen).

[Munatsi399]

Well we just have to hope and wait for it's return to connectivity

[B0nga]

Yeah, perhaps the S26 Ultra won't have any downgrades.

[Munatsi399]

Maybe it's an upgrade for the 26, you never know

I prefer the "square edge" of S24 ultra...

Also really mad and disappointed about the Spen of the S25 Ultra !!! No bluetooth !!! No air gesture to navigate ! No remote control for music ! No remote for the camera ! No remote for pictures or presentation ! Really a big downgrade !

I will stay with my S24 Ultra !

I had a little hope when I saw on Samsung blog Insights tha the Spen with bluetooth will be sold separetely but they just confirmed that the post was an error and will update it !
