According to a retailer, this year's high-end smartphone - Galaxy S25 Ultra will be a disappointing upgrade.
As the Galaxy S25 series nears its January 22 launch date and goes on sale in early February, some retailers have already received their devices. One of the retail sources has revealed some of the features of the top-end Galaxy S25 Ultra.

When the Galaxy Note line was discontinued and the flagship's features were assimilated into the Galaxy S Ultra, the Galaxy S Ultra also received support for the S Pen stylus. The S Pen has Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for additional features that non-Bluetooth styluses cannot support.
According to a source named Ishan Agarwal, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen will not have Bluetooth, which means it will lose Bluetooth features like the ability to remotely control actions and gesture controls.
The S Pen is one of the most powerful features of the Galaxy S Ultra and sets it apart from other high-end phones. Smartphone users will likely be annoyed by this downgrade, as most people only use the stylus for quick writing or drawing.

One advantage of not having Bluetooth connectivity is that non-Bluetooth S Pens won't need to be charged separately since they'll draw power from the device.
Obviously, no one wants to lose features from a high-end smartphone . If the above rumor is correct, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will lose the hearts of Ultra loyalists.
In return, this flagship model will have many other attractive plus points. First, the phone is expected to be about 40% faster than its predecessor. The device also has a larger vapor chamber, which helps with better cooling. At the same time, the "super product" will have a new ultra-wide-angle camera and upgraded low-light video recording capabilities. Most importantly, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will flaunt a new design.
