Does anyone know if it's possible to port the system apps from the Note to the S8+ to make the S Pen work? I miss my stylus but the Note 8's increased price is absurd for what you get.
Actually I just read that the S Pen requires hardware that only the Note has. Bummer.

Hi everyone, I didn't think this suited any other form so I just chose this one. Anyway I was just wondering if the galaxy note's S-pen could be ported to the Samsung galaxy s wifi 5.0. Theres only 0.3 inches between them. And yes I know theres is no stylus for the wifi 5.0 but if you somehow got hold of a note one then it might work. You would probably have to add in lots of new software to make the I/O of the pen work but its possible. Any thoughts?
I just picked up my Surface Pro 2 64 GB yesterday.
This information would probably only appeal to a small minority of users but I discovered that my s-Pen on my Galaxy Note 2 also works on my Surface Pro 2. The s-Pen button also works on the Surface Pro 2.
This is a plus as it solves the need for a spare pen for me. I was a little concerned about how to store the Surface Pro pen while on the go but the answer is that it really doesn't matter if I have it on me because I always have my smartphone with me.
Naturally, the reverse is true too. The Surface Pro 2 pen also works on the Galaxy Note 2.
This means that the s-Pen's on the Galaxy Note tablets (10 & 8) should also work.
This is because the samsung S-Pen is a rebranding of wacom's technology (used under license). The surface pro also uses wacom. They are essentially both using the exact same tech.
The first gen galaxy note phablet did use a version with a lower pressure sensitivity though, I don't know if thats a change on the phone or stylus side and whether it would cause a forward/backward compatibility issue or not.

That works for me.
Actually,I like using the surface pen on the phone more than the s-pen.
I am really hesitated which one to get,
The note is elegant tablet with the s-pen which I like too much and it is equivalent to note 3 mobile (big note 3).
The tab s is expected to be released in markets within the coming few days, the best resolution and color saturation ever produced in a tablet, it is equivalent to s5 mobile (big s5) and equipped with finger print security, thinner and lighter than note.
Hardware and software are almost similar from all aspects.
Actually I can say that the main difference is the absence of s-pen in the tab s, other differences are not major
Really appreciate opinions and advices. Thanks

Are you going to use spen and note apps? If yes go for note. If no go for tab s.
Galaxy note 4 (exynos) or Galaxy S6, what's your choice?:fingers-crossed:
The Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S6 have both come a long way from past Galaxy flagships, all of which felt about as expensive as a pack of crisps. As both have QHD resolution screens, the S6 has a higher pixels per inch rating, because Note 4 is having larger screen. The Galaxy S6's fingerprint scanner is superior however, and no longer requires an annoying swipe to work. Instead, it handles in a similar fashion to the iPhone 6's Touch ID home button, which is able to scan your digits with a simple, more convenient tap.The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 does have a few important bits the Galaxy S6 lacks, though. First, there’s the S Pen. This is a pressure sensitive stylus that is the Note series’s USP. Even more important to some is the microSD slot. So, it depends on you what is your requirement .
galaxy s6
I think the galaxy s6 is better because its newer.
Galaxy Note 4.
Note 4 has larger screen and it is cheaper than S6.

To some extent yes S6 is better but according to me it depends on user which one is better according to his requirements because for someone looking for large screen phone Note 4 may be better choice and if someone is looking for decent size screen, handy phone for him S6 is better.
So I'm looking for a phone that has an external SD card and something good for writing quick notes on the go. Unfortutealy all the newer samsung devices no longer include external SD card. And I haven't found any other phone that does the stylus better than samsung (all other phones outside of samsung uses capacitive technology and makes writing on the phone feel a bit less natural).
So that narrows down my choice to the galaxy note20 ultra (If I do get this, I plan on getting the N986B version), but I have a few questions
Will the S pen pro work on the Note20 Ultra?
Is the stylus/s-pen technology supported if I plan to root my phone and put on an AOSP rom (I very much dislike the UI samsung has on their phones)
Thanks for your time. Hopefully this can be my replacement phone
Hi...
Answer to the question nr. 1 is YES. S Pen Pro gonna work with Note 20 ultra... And the same answer to question nr. 2...You not gonna lose functionality of both S Pens ( Pro and this one which is embedded in the phone) after rooting and changing rom...
After rooting You can lose Knox related functionality...
