Modern Smartphone Pens

Samsung's 'S Pen' Lets You Scribble and Draw on Your Screen

— August 16, 2015 — Tech
Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 comes with a list of added features, but most interesting of them all is the smartphone's new stylus, the 'S Pen.' Writing with the S Pen drastically resembles a ball-point pen and allows users to doodle, draw and write without even turning your phone on.

The Note series has always been known for its size, but with the introduction of the S Pen, its large frame couldn't be a better match for the innovative pen. Accessing the pen has been made easier, with a spring-loaded feature allowing it to pop up when needed.

The stylus is extremely accurate and is designed after traditional writing instruments. The S pen is also capable of typical touch screen commands and also has shortcuts to certain commands. The Galaxy Note 5 and the S Pen are sure to reinvent the way we interact with our smartphones.
