Each new addition to the Note family introduces exciting capabilities to the smartphones\u2019 signature feature: the S Pen. Over the years, these refinements have unlocked innovative ways for users to communicate with others and streamline work, play and everything in between.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Note9<\/a>\u2019s S Pen raises the bar with an array of convenient additions, including Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) connectivity, Samsung DeX compatibility, and integration with several fan-favorite Note features. Together, these enhancements offer much greater control over your mobile experience, making it easier to get the most out of everything you do.<\/p>\n

Even Better with Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE)<\/h4>\n

The S Pen has always been a boundary-pushing innovation, but adding BLE connectivity takes it to another level, literally expanding the boundaries within which you can use your S Pen to manage your device.<\/p>\n

The S Pen\u2019s connectivity allows it to serve as an intuitive remote control for your Galaxy Note9 that lets you easily manage key functions, including the device\u2019s camera, from within 10 meters of the device. This means that when taking a selfie or a fun photo with friends, after launching the camera, rather than reaching for the shutter button (and possibly jeopardizing your carefully framed shot), you can instantly snap your pic with a click of the S Pen\u2019s button. A double-click will switch from the front to the rear camera, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Other apps that support the use of the S Pen as a remote control include the Gallery app and various presentation and media-player apps[1]. A simple click or double-click will allow you to play\/pause a song, skip to the next track or video, or view the next\/previous image in an album. You can even utilize the S Pen as a convenient clicker for presenting with the Galaxy Note9 and Samsung DeX. And with its open SDK (software development kit), developers will be able to integrate the S Pen\u2019s intuitive controls into a wide range of apps that will allow you to streamline more tasks with a simple click.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The S Pen also allows you to easily launch a favorite app or feature with a long press, regardless of the currently opened app. You can also customize clicks in the S Pen\u2019s settings[2].<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

BLE technology ensures that the S Pen is always ready whenever you need it, enabling the device to pair with the Galaxy Note9 as soon as it\u2019s removed, and maintaining a stable connection even when Bluetooth is turned off. The S Pen\u2019s Super Capacitor can take just 40 seconds to reach full charge, and offers up to 30 minutes of power\u2014or up to 200 clicks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Made for Multitaskers<\/h4>\n

Note users are true multitaskers who require a phone that\u2019s as versatile as they are. That\u2019s why Samsung enhanced the Galaxy Note9\u2019s S Pen with Samsung DeX support: to offer users more ways to get down to work.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s ultimate productivity service solution has been enhanced for the Galaxy Note9 with highly portable HDMI adapters, which users can easily plug in to a display when on the go without the need for a separate device. In addition, there’s also the dual screen support that allows you to work simultaneously on the smartphone\u2019s display and on a connected monitor.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Connecting the Galaxy Note9 to a monitor will also allow you to utilize the device as a touch keyboard, a touch pad, or a surface for writing or drawing with the S Pen. The S Pen\u2019s pressure-sensitive tip delivers a realistic and efficient writing experience when working on Samsung DeX, making it easy to, for instance, take notes on an interesting video that you\u2019re watching on the monitor, or fine tune an image or illustration using your Galaxy Note9 and the Adobe software suite.<\/p>\n\n

More Ways to Make Your Mark<\/h4>\n

Last year\u2019s Galaxy Note8 introduced Live Message, a particularly fun feature that allows you to inject more emotion into messages by drawing your own emojis, making animated GIFs, and customizing photos with pen effects and handwritten notes.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

A Refined Design<\/h4>\n

The Galaxy Note9\u2019s S Pen is comfortable in the hand, measuring 106 millimeters in length and weighing in at 3.1 grams. Its 0.7-millimeter tip and 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity provide impeccable precision, adding comfort and accuracy to note taking and drawing.<\/p>\n

Like the Galaxy Note9 itself, the S Pen is IP68 water and dust resistant[3]. So wherever your day takes you, and no matter conditions, you can rest assured that it\u2019ll be ready to work.<\/p>\n
