# Multipurpose Pen Phones The Versatile Zanco S-Pen is a Bluetooth Headset, Stylus and More By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-12-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pen-phone References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/zini-mobiles-announces-the-kickstarter-launch-of-zanco-s-pen-a-powerful-pen-phone-and-presentation-tool-300759890.html) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/642875321/zanco-s-pen-redefining-the-pen-phone) The S-Pen by Zanco is a [compact, pocket-sized tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minipen) that combines the functions of a pen phone, a Bluetooth headset, a stylus, a [voice recorder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulletpen) and a laser pointer for presentations. Although the device makes for a handy pen phone, it is noted that the tool is not meant to replace one's smartphone but rather serve as a great companion to it. When paired with a smartphone, the S-Pen itself will ring, making it easy for calls or texts to be sent via Bluetooth. With the redefined pen phone, users are also able to take photos with the S-Pen's dual cameras, as well as make the most of a myriad of other features like the SD slot, remote capture tools and voice changer.
