This is my first post on this forum and my first Android phone in many years, I've been an iphone user for a very long time. I made the switch to the Note 7 and find myself using the s pen many times daily. I have used it to take notes during meetings @ work and using it as a mouse, much more useful than I thought it would be, I figured it would be a nice novelty.
I use it the majority of the time. I use my phone a lot for work. Notes and Excel. The s pen really makes some of my excel sheets and workbooks much easier on the fly.
I use it multiple times daily. My first Note was the 3 and it was because of the s pen. Every Note thereafter was a must have and the S pen keeps improving. I love it.
I didn't use the S-Pen too frequently on the Note 4 and Note 5. Being able to pin Screen-off memos to the AoD on the Note 7 has been incredibly helpful to me for quick reminders, etc. It has gotten me back in the habit of using the S-pen a lot again, which has led me to start using it for lots of other things (Smart select and Screen write mostly).
I really haven't used it at all (Same with the side panels) as almost everything that I need to do I can do with my finger and many of the side panel app functions are duplicated by screen icons.
