![]() A Notes app also works in the same situation. For instance, the Calculator app is a good candidate for this, letting you navigate through multiple notes and spreadsheets and pulling open the calculator only when you need to make a calculation. This is a nifty feature and can work out in certain scenarios. To exit the Glance session, drag the minimized app to the trash icon and leave Glance mode. Pull the S Pen away from the display and the app minimizes back and you can interact with the rest of your phone. When you hover your S Pen over this thumbnail, the app returns to its normal state, and you can interact with it normally. The app then minimizes into a small thumbnail that can rest on any corner, and stays in this minimized state while you use the rest of the phone. In the above screenshots, I opened Twitter and started Glance. Open any app, pull out your S Pen and start Glance. ![]() The top of the pen has a clickable button - this has no other functions apart from helping you remove the pen from the phone, and accidentally acting as a fidget toy (the clicks are very satisfying). There is a flat button on one side, which is the button you need to press for remote functions. There are two tiny indents someways down the tip, which is used to sense when the pen is placed back inside the phone. ![]() You get a pack of 5-10 replaceable tips for about $7, but that’s unfortunately no longer an option.įor the shape, the S Pen has a thin and somewhat flat body, much thinner, flatter, and smaller than the usual ballpoint pen and other S Pens like the S Pen Pro. ![]() S Pens in the past have come with replaceable tips - I am not sure why Samsung went back to a non-replaceable tip as a replaceable tip would have given some more peace of mind in case you managed to damage just the tip of the pen. If you manage to drain out the battery of the S Pen, it will still work as a dumb stylus, but you will lose out on remote functions until you get some charge back in it.Īs for the Pen itself, it comes with a non-replaceable 0.7mm nib/pen tip with 4,096 pressure level support. It connects via Bluetooth to the device, which is how it can communicate with the device for battery status and for functions such as remote shutter. Note that this charging is different from Qi wireless charging, so you can’t just place your S Pen on a wireless charger to charge - you have to place it back inside the phone to charge. The S Pen integrates within the chassis of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and recharges itself wirelessly when in there. Samsung has even added artificial “scribbling” sounds that originate from the phone’s speakers (and that you can turn off), further adding to the pen-on-paper experience.īeyond that, there aren’t any further talking points for this generation itself - they come carried from previous S Pens. This is the closest Samsung has come to simulating the pen on paper feeling with the S Pen. One of the big talking points for the S Pen specifically on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is that Samsung has reduced the latency down to 2.8ms, down by almost 70% from the previous 9ms latency on the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
