JerryRig video exposes SPen charging hardware in S25Ultra?

[KupKrazy]

Has anyone seen JerryRig's last video on the S25 where he took it apart and found that the SPen bay has the same SPen charging hardware as the previous Ultras? Without knowing if it is functional, it certainly now adds to the back and forth regarding whether or not Samsung could come out with a Bluetooth SPen sold separately, which they've already denied was false when it was reported in a blog that it could happen and there was even an order form showing the Bluetooth SPen to order, I believe. If that charging hardware is functional, then I think there is no doubt that the removal of the Bluetooth SPen was a cost-cutting measure (which I think everyone thought anyway).

First mistake Samsung made was removing the Bluetooth SPen, now Software update are delay cause they trying to sell more S25 Ultra which they are not selling , Samsung screwed themselves on this one , S25 Ultra sales right now are horrible, they are just not selling period.

Well, that's disappointing for us loyal users. Is there any reason they dropped the Bluetooth SPen? I'm waaaay behind on my study of the new s25 line!
Thanks!

I saw this video too if the Bluetooth charging is operable they can definitely sell ans spen separately

Apparently Samsung said they removed cause they calculated 1% of user were only using the Bluetooth SPen, which in reality more than 50% of people use the Bluetooth SPen especially taking pictures, So Samsung screwed themselves, thinking 1% lol , which like 50% use it.

Ahhhh! Probably not Samsungs finest move. I would definitely miss that feature.
Thanks!!

In my opinion Samsung is pulling a apple move... Release a Bluetooth version later and get another $100. Everybody will be giving Samsung the high fives for listening to the customers and giving the Bluetooth back.

I dont think they'll get high fives for charging for something that used to be free. I believe people are well informed about this particular issue now. It's everywhere. I could be wrong, but I think Android people see this type of thing differently than Apple people.

Losing BT was one thing. Bringing it back later and charging for it is another.

Did Samsung announce the big update we (S25 owners) were supposed to get has been delayed?

We’ll see. people are already getting excited at the possibility Bluetooth spen being released.

If the phone would have cost more because of having a Bluetooth spen then I’m ok with them doing it this way. Let the people that want Bluetooth pay for it, the other 99% according to Samsung that doesn’t use the Bluetooth feature save their money.

I'm one of those users who never used the Bluetooth functionality on the s-pen . To be frank, I'm not a big s-pen user anyway so personally it doesn't affect me.

In terms of sales, I think Samsung is doing perfectly fine. Especially, in Korea and US.

/Begin rant

As long as, customers continue to buy phones from useless carriers, Samsung and Apple have nothing to worry in the US and they continue to coast with no issues.

Majority of US customers unfortunately just go into the carrier stores and buy the next Galaxy or iPhone. I wish the US consumers were more tech savvy like in Europe, Asia where companies have to compete and sell direct. I hate the US carriers and the general phone buying process here

Yeah sure, most of us buy direct from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, Apple etc, but we are a tiny tiny percent of the sales. I wish companies like OnePlus, Oppo, Honor etc and so many other companies had a chance to compete here in the US with Samsung, Apple and Google.

I could kinda go for that if it was offered up front.

Yeah, if they come out with it next month all of sudden that's a apple move.

The fact there's a charging port inside the silo for the spen makes me think Samsung is up to something like this. Just thinking out loud

Agree something fishy going on.

Or it was a last minute decision and didn't have time to remove the charging port from the device. Remember the device goes into manufacturing way early and I assume the they didn't have time to tweak the manufacturing process. Maybe in the next version it'll be removed.

I personally think there is nothing crazy going on and there won't be any separate bluetooth s-pen that'll be released. Obviously, just a speculation from my part.

If it's not fishy it could be they used just over parts from the 24U.

Who knows, I don't want Bluetooth myself, just thinking out loud.
