Typing with an S pen

[anon(40376)]

Playing with an S pen on my tablet and amazed at how easy it is. I may come to like this on the S22 ultra. Swiping the keyboard is a lot easier with the pen than with my fat finger! And this is from the guy who was thinking it was a worthless toy.

This first time experience with Spen?

 

[anon(40376)]

My first. I received one with a Samsung tablet years ago, it has been attached to the case, so last night gave it a try. Rather impressed with the swiping the keyboard to type. Seems faster than using a finger. I can see ow that might be advantages on a smaller screen like on a phone vs. larger on a tablet. Didn't think I would ever use a pen and it would remain in the hold in the phone, but now; it might actually be used.

You have more precise control then finger which is why i like Spen

What is the button on the S-pen and what does it do? I have pushed mine but it appears nothing happens.

Ok. With the phone I'll have to do some investigations of the usage.

One of my favorite features of the Note Spen is the Screen Off Memo.

You can pull out the Spen and write on your black screen without unlocking your phone.

I hope the s22 Ultra has true 'Note' features or it's going to be a big let down.
It won't matter to me that the pen is housed if all the features aren't included.

But I'm optimistic.

Well if Samsung has indeed ditched the Note series. Then I'd expect all the S pen features to carry over. But if the Note is still a thing, then perhaps some features will be held or reserved for it over the ultra.

as a long time Galaxy user, i've never thought that the pen/stylus would be useful for me (i don't think that i'd draw with it).

however, reading this thread, i discovered, that @mustang7757, as per his usual, is so very helpful(!) to all of us! thanks! looking at his screenshot and his replies, i think it might be useful to me potentially, IF i learn to use it! ha ha. i have no idea how to use it!

is there a tutorial somewhere please? @mustang7757's post is very helpful, but still, it's not a tutorial on how to fully use the pen, right?

just thinking ahead.

i'd like this S22 Ultra to be another good experience, and not a dud like the S20 Ultra's horrible camera! that was the pits.

@mustang7757: oh wow, the s pen is so sophisticated! i literally have always thought of it as a dumb stylus, i.e. no smart features. thank you yet again!
