Samsung is Removing features every year

First, with the S21 Ultra, they removed the microSD slot. Now, with the S25 Ultra, they’ve removed the Bluetooth camera feature.

Back in the Note 20 Ultra days, the features that made me buy it were the microSD slot and the Bluetooth camera. I even bought a 512GB microSD card to pair with my 256GB phone, and it always felt great to have extra space.

I know people will tell me to just buy the higher storage version, and while that sounds fine, one thing that has always made Samsung stand out—and turned me into a fan since 2013—is the freedom to choose and the abundance of features they offered.

But now, it feels like Samsung is taking away something every year. I wouldn’t be surprised if the S26 Ultra ends up removing the S Pen and forcing us to buy an S Pen case again like the S21.

Removing the microSD slot was bad enough, but now removing the Bluetooth camera? That was one of my favorite features, and I used it all the time back in 2020.
