The S25 Ultra still has an S Pen, but Samsung removed Bluetooth features that allowed you to use the stylus like a magic wand. Samsung says few people used those features, and on balance, it’s no great loss. But it’s the principle more than anything that stings.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra does all of the right things you want from a high-end smartphone, but its redesign annoys me.

Last week, Samsung officially unveiled its 2025 “iPhone killers”, the much anticipated Galaxy S25 Series. On the official site, you can still grab some limited-time (and unprecedented) deals during the pre-order phase which allow you to own Samsung’s most premium smartphones at a fraction of their regular cost.
