Find out what makes each Galaxy S-Pen unique?

The Note8 and Note9 S Pens are made from two separate parts, the Note10/Note10+ has a unibody made of one piece that makes it more durable and stronger.

Starting with the Note9, the S Pen uses Bluetooth LE (low energy) that lets you use remote controllability and other cool features. Because of the Bluetooth, you need to charge the S Pen every once in a while.

The Note10/Note10+ S Pen takes a little longer to charge than the Note9’s, but it also lasts longer.

As for the Note8, you don’t need to charge its S Pen since it doesn’t have a Bluetooth LE connection.

The remote controllability feature really blew everyone out of the water when the Note9 was released. It lets you take pictures with the S Pen, control PowerPoint presentations, browse Gallery, and more. 

The Note10/Note10+ S Pen has taken this feature even further by adding Air actions! You can press the Galaxy Note10/10+’s S Pen button to freely control your phone with 6 gestures (left/right, up/down, swing left/right). Users can remap the gestures by apps and users can customise gestures for each actions.
