Rewrite your definition of productivity with the Power of the S Pen.

The Galaxy S Pen is one of Samsung’s iconic accessories and its power can open up a new world of possibilities whether you’re presenting in the boardroom, conferencing on a virtual call, editing photos or videos, creating content, sketching or drafting or just listening to music. It is indeed no ordinary stylus. Let’s explore the power of the S Pen.

Powerful features

  • Connects to your devices via Bluetooth.
  • It is powered by a super-capacitor battery instead of a lithium-ion battery.
  • No chords. No problem. Snap it to the side of your tablet to charge it fully in around 40 seconds.
  • One full charge lasts for 30 minutes or 200 clicks.
  • You can still use it to write even when the battery has no charge because it is an inductive stylus.
  • Like a ball point pen, the tip is around 0.7mm thick. It also registers up to 4,096 pressure levels for incredible accuracy.
  • It connects via Bluetooth to a maximum distance of up to 10 meters.

Looks and feels like a real pen

The S Pen has all the fundamental stylus pen features that can be switched on and off in the settings menu.

Direct Writing Input

Fill out text boxes on your Samsung Tablet with actual writing. You can set your keyboard to detect when you’re using the S Pen and automatically open the writing pad when blank text boxes are selected.

Visible Pointer

You can set the device to show a pointer graphic when the S Pen is close enough to the screen. This is the native interface for using all of the various functions. It appears by default by removing the S Pen from the device while the screen is on.

Add your favourite apps

With Air Command you can add any application on your device to the S Pen shortcut menu. Try adding apps you frequently use and open them in seconds.

Air View

View quick information by hovering the pen over data fields in the calendar or gallery apps

Sketch and design like a Pro

Draw and sketch precise and complex images as you would on paper by using the S Pen. Unleash your creativity like never before

PENUP

This is a social network platform of sorts for Samsung Note users. You can create drawings, colour in existing drawings, and share your artwork across the platform with millions of users.

Air Commands

Notes

Choose from two Air Command functions for taking notes. The first creates a new note and the second opens the Samsung Notes app to view previous notes. Notes sync across devices via your Samsung account in case you buy a new S Pen device later. You can also add the View all notes Air Command to view every note you’ve made.

Screen Write

Take a screenshot of the entire screen with the Screen Write feature, write on the screenshot, then save it or share it with a single click.

Smart Select

Skip the cropping and resizing with this tool. Draw a shape anywhere on the screen to take screenshots of defined sections. You can also capture animations and turn them into GIFs for easy sharing on social media.

Translate

Don’t know that language? Hover the S Pen over a foreign word to instantly translate it. This feature can also play the audio of the word with the small sound icon next to the translation.

Live Message

Turn your text and pictures into GIFs with Live Message and share them on messaging apps and social media. This also works with the Samsung AR Emoji feature and you can also write on images you have previously created.
