Wow the pre-order bonus is crap here in the UK, just a storage boost, not even Gemini Advanced free like rumoured.

Yeah shocking. The Gemini Advanced is only 6 months. I was expecting something like a free gift and a trade-in boost for pre-orders at the least, very disappointed. They've actually reduced the trade-in price by 40% compared to what it was last week for my device.

Is the S-Pen Pro any different from the normal in terms of features?
No different from what you currently have with the S24U… I purchased mine because the Fold Edition lacks bluetooth support. And to be honest, I lost mine lol.. so figured I’d go ahead and buy a S-Pen Pro.

Yea it's bad this year, Google give 12 months of Gemini with a Pixel and they made it!! All Samsung have done is probably paid Google to use Gemini. This is more for the Samsung fans who wont or don't want to jump to Pixel.
 
That most likely helped make my decision not to order.
Help me out here… your iPhone lacks stylus support, why is it important that the S-Pen have bluetooth support?

I already pointed out that you can go buy S-Pen Pro refurbished… if you are in need of a stylus that has Bluetooth, if you want remote camera taking features. Then go buy a Galaxy Watch. The idea that bluetooth support is a requirement to order the S25U doesn’t make much sense (to me).

It's ok. It doesn't have to make sense to you since it's my buying decision.

You automatically get £100 off on Amazon at least. Plus the usual double storage at the same price as the storage.

Pre-ordered an icy blue S25 256GB model.
