‘Magic Pen’ S Pen – inspiration for generations of Galaxy users

First appearing on the Galaxy Note series and recently the S23 Ultra, the S Pen not only impresses, but also creates a unique smartphone usage style through touching, writing, and drawing. Introduced in 2005, the stylus on mobile phones quickly created a trend for “connoisseurs”. However, the technological limitations of that time made the pen not really useful, quickly entering a cycle of decline before the appearance of the capacitive touch screen. In 2011, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note as an affirmation of the revival of the stylus. Up to now, the S Pen is still the first image that pops up every time a user mentions this legendary device. The S Pen has become the hallmark of users who require an “all-in-one” smartphone for maximum work and play.

Ideas can come at the most unexpected times, but carrying around a notebook and pen sometimes comes with inconvenience. That’s why Ngoc chose the Galaxy Note10+ smartphone – a powerful yet compact “workstation” with the most innovative screen and S Pen technology of the time 4 years ago. Ngoc shared: “Until the time I had the Note10+ in my hand, I still thought the stylus was just a decoration, mainly to make me look more ‘connoisseur’. But the ability to multitask makes me feel that the Note10+ is absolutely worth the money. This comes not only from performance, battery capacity or camera, but more importantly, the experience of touching, writing, drawing with the S Pen.” Believing that “one time writing is once remembering”, Ngoc always prioritizes taking notes in notebooks, notebooks or memo pads by handwriting instead of typing. With Note10+, every time the idea of ​​writing an article comes to mind, even at times like driving or jogging, Ngoc just needs to stop, open the device, take the pen and write directly on the lock screen. All operations are encapsulated in a few short seconds. Ngoc can even continue to write in old notes, or convert handwriting into typed text when needed. The S Pen on Note10+ also helped Duy Khanh (25 years old) during college. Wanting to become a reporter, Khanh joined the school’s professional club and started working in news production from the second year. The ability to link the S Pen with the camera of the device or turn the pen into a pen. Hand-held control during presentations is the most impressive point of this Gen Z. “In the past, when I had to lead the scene alone, I simply put the Note10+ on a tripod, then stood in the right position and pressed the button on the S Pen to take photos or record videos. Simple gestures make it easy for me to zoom in/out, focus or switch front/rear camera lenses. That’s not to mention the times when “fire fighting” recording with the S Pen, or using this pen to edit videos on the phone faster, “Khanh said. After that, Khanh often shows the results to the whole club and shares about the working process so that everyone can learn from each other.

However, we also have to constantly go to the scene to get information, we cannot always sit in front of the computer. So, I’m considering upgrading to S23 Ultra so I can read documents and take notes whenever my hands are free,” Khanh said. With the improved S Pen, Khanh can write directly on any application, instead of having to create notes like on the previous Note10+. Normally, after downloading a PDF document, Khanh will research, make notes, and then save it to a folder in the Notion application. This application is an “effective assistant” to help reporters manage their work including: Schedule appointments for interviews, return articles, store documents and develop a daily topic development plan.

After holding your S23 Ultra, I find things even more convenient when users can easily switch lenses or shooting modes with hand gestures without touching the screen. It feels like Harry Potter is dancing with magic wands”, Ngoc excitedly.
