The Note 8 S Pen works in the note 9

I plan on trading in my Note8 for a $500 discount on the 9. If I held on to my Note8 S-pen when sending it off for the trade in do you think I would have any problems with Samsung as long as the phone is in good working condition?

Probably not worth the risk when it comes to trading in to Samsung.
 
why would it not just 'work' since a pen that you would buy would work just fine. Note 8 and Note 9 are virtually the same

The Bluetooth functionality is powered by a super capacitor which is charged using induction. The Note 8 will not have the induction coils to charge the cap. It may be possible to pair the poem with the Note 8, but if you can't charge it, you won't be able to use it anyways.
 
Since you mentioned **induction** charging for the Note 9 Spen, do you think it would get charged on a wireless charging pad? That would be great if it did..

I like using my S9+ like a note. Same specs except screensize for the base model note, but half the price. And I already have it. What other special feature am I unaware of?

Not the same. When I had to return the note 7 and used a S7 edge, it was terrible using my finger or stylus. First as you can see in your image, handwriting looks terrible. You can't copy and paste certain texts. You can't smart select. That's just to name a few. If you don't use the S Pen, you wouldn't understand

You can smart select, with the edge panels.

The S pen is is a much better stylus than any capacitive stylus. Has much higher accuracy and pressure sensitivity. It's Wacom technology which is what many digital artists use to ink their art.

Is it $600 better for a non artist? Some of the new stylus are very accurate. Line width, color, editing can all be done on most devices from Samsung and others. I don't think it's enough of an upgrade for me to get more productive. Give me a folding s9+phone next time and I'm in for 1k.
P. S. My handwriting always looks like that.

If that's the case you don't need a note. If you've already justifying not needing a note device, most likely you don't need one. Everyone has different needs. Not knocking anyone
