I don't use it every single day, but when I use it for notes and documents at work I'm soooo grateful to have it. I won't say I'll NEVER switch to a phone that doesn't have a pen, but it's going to take one hell of an amazing phone to pull me away from it.
You are right Sir, overall quality is the game here. I'm not an expert cause this is my third Samsung mobile phone(formers Galaxy's S6 and S8+) this is my first Note and I'm not going to the S9+. You can count me on the next Note 9.I don't use it all that much. Last night was the first time in weeks. To be honest, the S-pen wasn't a selling point for me. It was the overall quality of the phone. The Note 8 is a really good phone with or without the S-pen.
