SamMobile is reporting from the announcement site that the S-pen did indeed drop Bluetooth. It’s true, Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen doesn’t have Bluetooth features

Yes, a lot! If Bluetooth is gone, I hope they replace it with something like UWB wireless. The official photos still show a side button and the click button on the end. Some form of S-pen wireless communication would be needed for those to work, I think.

Titanium Silver! ;)

Would something like this work for your scenario? FNTCASE for Samsung Galaxy S25-Ultra Case

The Galaxy S24/S23 series supports USB C Power Delivery (PD) using the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) standard. So the Samsung charging protocols aren't really proprietary, they conform to industry standards. All recent Anker chargers support PPS, among a few other standards. I have a similar...

I am seriously thinking that the S25 Ultra will be my next phone if the rumored satellite messaging turns out to be true. And definitely if the satellite connectivity isn't tied to a carrier and will work throughout North America. Samsung’s Satellite Surprise: Galaxy S25 Ultra gets it, others...

And I wonder if they have the ability to activate Wi-Fi 7 in a future firmware update. Wi-Fi 7 is expected to be ratified in early 2023. This Samsung S23 spec list (at the link below) states that it covers the 6 GHz band: Wi-Fi Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2.4G+5GHz+6GHz, HE160, MIMO, 1024-QAM...

Here is a CNET article (linked below) from this afternoon that states that the S23 Ultra has it: "Samsung didn't include the capability to connect over satellite in the new Galaxy S23 series even though it packs the two big components needed for Snapdragon Satellite: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2...

According to the link below it is the X70 since it is part of the overall SoC: "The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 uses Snapdragon X70 5G Modem-RF System for mobile networks (like 5G compatibility), while the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 on the chip handles its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities."...

I think it would be wise to check out the deal options through both your carrier and Samsung.com. For me there is usually a clear winner on the deal, especially when factoring in how long you plan on keeping the phone.

512GB on the base S23?! What!? This leak/post implies that the S23 will have a 512GB option. What do you think about this being an actual potential? A small Galaxy S23 flagship that can record 4K@60fps video and actually have the storage capacity for such large files. This could get...

It is nice to match a case to an activity like traveling. I have occasionally used battery cases on my Notes, these cases recommended by AC are very good. I have used the Zero Lemon and, while bulky, was great while away from power for extended periods...

The Otterbox Defender Series Pro has been my go-to case for the entire Note series phones that I have owned. They are basically indestructible cases that I use while hiking and traveling, and they have taken many drops and rock slides with no damage to my phone. The clip on holster protects the...
