I haven't seen anyone address how the pen gets recharged, or whether old Note pens are compatible.
My guess it still uses Bluetooth LE... the charge strip or whatever it is will be on side left side of phone and just need to place pen next to it to conduct/charge.
I say left side because if you bought a case, it makes sense they set it up where it's charging when in the slot built into the case. But if you aren't buying the case, you'll still be able to charge by placing pen to left side for a minute to charge.
That's an interesting way to charge the Pen. Can you tell I've never used one before? Lol.
Looks like it has the push-button, though. I wonder how that communicates.So the S Pen for the S21 doesn’t support Bluetooth features.
So the S Pen for the S21 doesn’t support Bluetooth features... just a plain pen. So no charging needed I guess.
But they announced an S Pen “Pro” in the future that will support Bluetooth features and gestures. Sounds more expensive.
A big no to that idea.Right?? Hardcore S-Pen users will appreciate the larger pen and after you go bigger, you can't go back and the case will be fine.
Because waiting for the Note21 means going without the S21 Ultra's camera and display improvements for the next several months, and many of us don't even use the S-Pen's air gestures. (I will slightly miss the pen's remote-shutter capability, but voice commands and hand gestures for selfies are good enough in the meantime.)The S21 isn't a cheap phone and the regular spen doesn't come out until later in the year. Why not just wait and buy the Note 21 in August that has the full functioning Spen?
