How often do you use your S pen??

[YaniCruz]

I only use it when I need to show off my phone to someone lol

RCS is almost iMessage but I wish everyone would use it already. SMS is so bad but it’s perfect for a simple text.

I fully agree. That's what's so infuriating about Apple figuring this out and Google hasn't. Like Really!? How difficult is it for Google to take something like Hangouts, which was set up beautifully to be an iMessage competitor, and actually implement it. It's like Google is intentionally asleep at the wheel. SMS/MMS is terrible and Apple has had too long of a head start to not figure this out.

Thanks OP, after reading this it got me to use the S-Pen more.

I use mine daily, it is almost a habit to take it out when I pick up the phone.

Here is another reason that people may want to use their S Pens more often.

I wouldn't say I use it daily, but I use it more and more the longer I have the phone. The only other Note I had was the Note 7, so I'm still learning new uses for the pen.

Curious how S-Pen features have changed since my Note 3 days. I don't have one of these. I got the impression many features got lost or replaced in later Notes or with updates. S-notes has gone, or changed? I found it great for editing screenshots and photos, can't remember what else. I have poor inconsistent handwriting so the software would have to be special. Would I be just as happy with an S10 version after years without a pen. I'm currently thinking of finally going small again as there's a great deal on an S10e where I am. Dunno.

Been a Note user since Note 4. I use the pen mainly for note taking, selecting and sharing screens, copying / pasting...
If not for the S-Pen, I would simply go with the regular S-line of phones. Why pay the premium otherwise?

I don't find the Spen that useful, however for things like cropping, especially from scanned photos it's much more precise than using your finger. I don't want to give it up but if I had to, it wouldn't be a major issue.

You don't use it to make your grocery list or your Christmas list ?

I used to jot down items for hunting. Writing with my handwriting is excessively illegible

I like hunting also, the pen is not supposed to improve your handwriting

I know that but its sloppy writing with an Spen compared to old school notes

Both with my Note 9 and now my Note 10, it mostly gets used for lock screen notes...particularly when I'm on my way to bed or trying to sleep. A bunch of notes/reminders I probably wouldn't have bothered with otherwise get put down.

Maybe your tip is worn out ?

That's from day one.....no it's just sloppy because of a lack of friction between the pen and the screen.

Try switch the pen to finer one and write in landscape mode

All the time. I'm an artist/illustrator and use it almost exclusively for my work lately. These are all note 8. Got my 10+ active last night. Link to a Google Photos Folder of my work. https://photos.app.goo.gl/bjvHD7RCgZDRFAdQA

I think I'm not expressing myself write
(pun intended)
It's not because the tip is worn or any of those other factors. A real pen on paper is different for me. I'm OK with it, just what I noticed.

Now you explained yourself much much better
