I'm considering upgrading my Galaxy S21 Ultra to an S22 Ultra through a great trade-in deal at Samsung.com. I've never used a Note with S Pen before, so I'm wondering how you guys use the S Pen, particularly if your S22 Ultra is the first device with an S Pen. Is it more useful that you thought, less useful? Do you use it all the time, or have you never taken it out of its slot?
Thanks!

Smart capture, screen shot writing, bt remote cam shutter release and magnifier.
I went with a new N10+ N975U1; better form factor/durability/reliability, SD card slot, loaded with Android 10, no display issues and handles heavy ram loading better. A better rounded flagship that's not as heavy or bulky... and the spen is on the RIGHT side

S pen for me goes all the way back to the early Notes and I've found it useful for both work and personal tasks. At one point I moved away from the Note using the S10+ and S21+. I got the z Fold 3 and realized I did miss the s pen but since it didn't store the s pen internally I moved to the S22 ultra. The S22u s pen is the best one so far as the delay is practically non existent when writing.
There are a bazillion YouTube videos on what you can do with the s pen so I would recommend checking those out.
never used it

Yes. Any time I need a toothpick. Just kidding. I like to use it as a camera remote. It came in really handy when I put my phone on a tripod so I could get some good pics of my daughter's softball games. Or if I am holding it at an odd angle the S Pen works great.
Push button, pull it out, scribble nonsense on screen, chuckle at "paper" sound it makes. Doodle and stuff, put it back. That's about it. ;-)
Back in the Note 3 days when I was changing roms faster than shoes, many had a theme that made the sound of a light saber being activated when the pen was removed. Probably removed and replaced it way more because of that alone! :-D

Woohoo!
The above is a really great video of some of the things you could do with the the S-Pen. This is just scratching the surface though and as @Rubby1025 pointed out there are are tons more on youtube if you take the time to dig through..
I use mine primarily for annotation.
I use mine for everything. Much easier than using my finger.
Hi everyone, someone knows about smart selecting -> extract text. On note 9 I can extract any text from any pictures or scanner QR. I don't know exactly how work on s22, because it's other option for smart text.

S22 Ultra is my first device with the spen. Was not disappointed, the spen is amazing, with an incredible response and very pleasant to write.
I use it for translation (tbh I wouldn't be able to use Aurora ROM without it, there's no way I would translate so much chinese so quickly), to select small/ delicate areas for editing, to copy text that normally isn't possible and, of course, to write.
I am using the phone to study (engineer) and while the screen is small for that, the quality of the spen makes up for that, at least imo, because of the precision and how enjoyable it is to write.
I have not used other functions like remote pictures, I'm with the phone for less than a month. However, in the firsts days with this phone I already signed 2 pdf documents, saved the stress of having to scan, sign, scan the doc with a crappy printer at work.
@WZDISMINE You can select everything with Bixby Vision.

It's not same "smart select" on note 9 and s22 ultra
I use s pen usually for fast note, for example shopping list, scrolling webpages and marking word for fast translate, sometimes writing messages with swype mode on the keyboard.
S pen in silo is very practical and always close to hand so i use Note series from Note3>Note5>Note9>Note 20U and now Note 22U

Bottom line up front:
* S Pen is not something you need to use all the time or even daily.
* If you like what it provides, then you will like the new S22 Ultra with S-Pen
Right now I have the S22 without the S-pen! :-(
- However, I have had about . . .well many notes starting with the Note 3 and through the Note 20 (the small one!).
- At first you try and think of things to do with it. And it is in your hand about four hours a day. . .
- But after a few years the S-Pen just becomes a (really) useful tool.
* When someone gives you a phone number -not by tms, but over the phone or in person, it is easiest to use a quick s-pen note on the screen with the name and number (my handwriting was never good enough for perfect recognition, but it does not matter you have the number).
* When someone is giving you a list of thing to do or see or anything. . . this is the fastest way to get the list -hand write it on a note.
* Brainstorming -not with an app, but just casually, is another use I had.
* Finally, if you like to cut pieces of emails, web browsers or text and copy them into other apps or other emails etc. The S-Pen makes that a bit easier. Not necessary but a bit more accurate and smoother.
[Also in all cases the note transfers over to your tablet or, if you link S Notes to One note -well, your note is on all your computing devices.]
* I forgot. . . . if you are an artist, well then this is for you.
Finally, there are things you DON’T need to use S Pen for -- just take a photo!
* For things like car license plates #, or prices in Home Depot, or a poster you see with info on a concert. . . no need to write.
* For writing text messages and emails. The S pen is kind of clunky.
Bottom line, if you think a feature is important or good only if it used often, well maybe S-Pen is not a draw for you.
However, if you just want something there when you need it, well that’s S-Pen.
On balance. .I wound up using it about once or twice a week. I was very comfortable with that amount of time.
It fit a need I sometimes have.
And because of that it was worth it.
I miss the S-Pen on my little S22. (I wanted to try a small phone this year).
Now, when I get those writing situations I wind up using my finger and s notes. .it is much more clumsy and just not quite as good!
Sometimes I type the number or list in Google Keep, but that is noticeable slower!
I think next phone I will go back to the big pocket-busting S-Pen version. . .
Good luck!
Mark!
I will say I liked it a lot better when it was on the RIGHT SIDE of the phone!

On the whole I agree.
I will disagree on one point. Using the S Pen to take a photo. I have been in several situations where using the S Pen as a camera remote was needed. Those occasions were usually where I had to hold the phone at an odd angle or in a way that using the S Pen as a trigger was the only viable option. It especially comes in handy when photographing my daughter's softball games or gymnastics meets.
Otherwise you are spot on.
The last part about getting a "big pocket-busting" S Pen version. You might want to get the S22 Ultra now. Samsung is cutting back production on its next generation phones.

So after giving this some thought this last week I decided to stick with the infinity over trading in for the Note 10.1. I just think the Infinity is superior product. I benchmark, stock and not rooted, at about 13,000 and I/O is and acceptable 450.
Obviously the big "breath taking" feature of the note is the S- Pen and in my opinion the biggest reason I might have had tablet envy. The pen is something that I can use on a daily basis for work since I take so many notes. I just can't get over the plastic, slow up dates from Samsung and no FHD screen. Also, the addition of the keyboard doc lets you take the Infinity to whole different level. I have set out to see if I can capture the "pen experience" in the Infinity and this is what I have found so far. I hope the rest of you will share ideas and experiences as well.
Stylus: I have tried several since I had a Asus Prime and found most not to be sufficient for my needs. The cheap ones are surely cheap and wear out quickly. Some even leave a residue behind on the screen. After several tries I have found the Adonit Jot Pro to be the most accurate and best all around for my needs. It works well when swiping the screen ( I only use it for that when I am using the jot pro to write with) and gives clear translation of what I write without skipping. I will probably order some extra discs right away since I can see that being a potential issue and could shut me down using until replacements arrive. One thing I do not like about the jot pro stylus is I wish they would have put one more revolution of threads on the cap. It has fallen off once and having the tip exposed while while carrying around could damage the disc. So be careful to make sure it is not cross threaded and put back in place securely.
Screen Protector: I had the Zagg protector but it is much to sticky to use with the jot stylus. I do not think it works well with any of them personally. I do not have a screen protector on my screen currently but have ordered and should recieve Monday clear Acaseview screen protector that was recommended in another post. I will update when I have installed and used
Software/ Apps: I am mainly using SuperNote to take my notes. It functions really well to take notes on the fly. I have several note books setup for various topics. I have also setup a notebook that has forms in it that use regularly and usually fill out using paper and pen. I scanned an image of each form and inserted them into a page in Supernote. When I go to fill them out I simply use the insert annotation feature and "bingo" I have a non paper version of the form that I can archive and retrieve at any time.
One challenge of Supernote is that it is not too strong on export natively. You can either export to an .SNE file which can be read by nothing but supernote or share via email or other apps. There is no .pdf function built in which would be great if ASUS would update this functionality. My solution to this is to share everything to Evernote where you can pretty much do anything you want to with the information at that point. The possibilities are endless. By using the recent apps list it is very easy to switch between both and if you use overskreen as a browser you get that placebo effect of multi tasking ( ok, maybe not.)
Another useful program to share to is scan to pdf and you can skip Evernote altogether.
On a side note I found it interesting that the day the Samsung was launched the ICS+ browser and google release a beta that allowed you to write your search criteria that was converted to text in the search box.
These are just a few ideas that I have come up with in just a few days. I am happily taking notes on my infinity and my eyes love me for full HD. I am sure there is more out there and more to come. I look forward to learning more from those of you that care to share what you have come up with.
Nice post, and great to see what you've come up with. I am still in doubt about using a screen protector (not so much for the protection, but for the glare reduction), so I'll keep an eye on what you think of your soon-to-come addition. I do not take notes that religiously -- that's not true, to be honest; I take notes all the times, but on paper next to my 700 -- so I'll have to remind me to give Overskreen and SuperNote a whirl.
Update to Screen Protector
An update that the acaseview screen protector works great with the adonit jot pro stylus. Pen moves just as freely as if there was not a screen protector on and recognition of hand writing is great. The screen protector fits the tf700 perfectly and seems to be high quality. Here is the amazon link to the version I purchased.

How do you deal with your palm messing things up? I assume with the Note that wouldn't be a problem since the stylus isn't capacitive.
I'd have to recommend the sensu brush or the truglide stylus.

I will have to give the sensu a try. I looked at the truglide but passed because it was so much shorter than a regular pen. I see now that they do offer a full size stylus so it may work great as well.
Agree for pen part, but the true strength to my surprise on galaxy note is speed and stability. I have encountered only a single crush after 30 to 40 hours of use. As stable as iOS perhaps better. But I do miss hd resolution.
Hi all,
I am looking into buying a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition when it does finally show up (I hope it is real soon). I have been looking into the old Note 10.1 to get a sense of how good the S-pen is for taking handwritten notes. I know an acquaintance who uses it to take a lot of notes and he raves about it. I want to get more feedback from people who have used the S-pen as a replacement for traditional pen and paper. Is it as good (or at least sufficiently close) to writing on a piece of paper? Is it quick or is there some lag? Can I rest my palm on the screen and still write in a comfortable posture or do I need to hold my hand awkwardly?
If it is as good as writing on a piece of paper then I am really excited. I can finally replace my growing pile of paper notes, which I can lose sometimes, to a digital copy and make life easier.
The pen is great. End stop.
However... finding the right note taking app for you is a different story. I'm not too thrilled with Snotes, and maybe the newer edition may change that. You have many other options, each with their relative (to the user) strengths and weaknesses.
OneNote
Papyrus
Lecture Notes
Write
Kno
Various office suites
Plus other drawing and note apps I've either forgotten about or haven't encountered.
If/when you get your tablet, take some time to try them all out. See which one offers you the best yield, be it drawing and writing, including materials from other sources, collating and organizing, searching, bookmarking, reuse and export, paper size/design/layout, use across other devices or platforms, backup and sync, online/offline. The list grows and grows.
It all sounds great on paper, until you try to use it practically every day.
My love is OneNote. But not the web or tablet versions; they are VERY VERY lacking. On my computer, however, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
How is the s-pen in terms of taking notes? That's my main question. Does it mimic the natural feel of writing on paper? I will definitely look into the alternative apps but my main concern is the viability of replacing a physical pen and notebook with this. Is it snappy and precise when you write with the pen or is it slow and cumbersome (like what a capacitive stylus is like on an ordinary capacitive touch screen).
Will I be able to comfortably take notes in real time, in a fast paced class for example? As long as that is doable, I am interested in buying it. But otherwise, I'd be disappointed.

It is the best, you can even record audio while writing and then save them both into on file.
Go here and watch some of the videos of it being used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0krCDFLjdA&list=PL8095B2677327E09C
Multi window is great also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhKAC2PJEE&list=PL8095B2677327E09C
MyScript Notes Mobile is a nice app that lets you take very good notes also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.notesmobile
.
Some of that again depends on the app. Some handle maneuvering around the virtual paper better than others. Most have palm rejection settings. I've not noticed any lag between drawing and visualization, so I'd say the similarity to real ink and paper is pretty close. Depending on if and how the app uses the pressure sensitivity, too, could impact your perception of closeness.
Also the pen itself is. Cumbersome? For longer term use. If you check through the accessories threads, you'll find some good reference on pens that feel more natural in the hand, rather than as a skinny plastic twig, for ease of longer sessions. Being the digitizer is Wacom, the winners appear to be in the Bamboo family, from what I recall. I couldn't imagine a full day of note taking using the standard pen; hand fatigue would set in quickly (Caucasian male, average sized hands, for reference).
I don't know where you are, but most big box stores have them out for a hands-on experience.

Thanks. Yes, I have been looking at several videos online to get a sense of how good it is. I think it is pretty good for taking handwritten notes. I'll very likely buy the new note 10.1... Just can't wait for them to release it. They should've released it by now actually.
It takes some getting used to. But it is simply a transition that is worth the initial effort. Take some time with it on your own before making the "public" transition. Nothing is more discouraging than fumbling with tech under pressure. But after a couple of days doing all your non public writing on the tablet you'll be ready to go public. At that point, put the paper pad in the drawer and go cold turkey into the digital realm.
Above all else get signed up with drop box or Google drive, get an app called file sync and back up your notes. There are too many threads around of "lost all my notes how do I get them back?"
Good luck! The original Note is a great device. I will envy those with the newer one. Too soon for me to upgrade though.

Thanks for the reply. I have a Dropbox account with a ton of space so I am good with that. I am torn between buying the 8 inch Galaxy Note 8 or to wait and get the more expensive Galaxy Note 10.1 2014.
Now, my main reason to consider the 8 inch is because it is far more affordable, it is readily available right now, and there is some real world usage info to understand if it has any bugs, issues etc.
My main concerns are will the 8 inch be TOO small for taking notes, if it is powerful enough to last me for a long time and finally if the display is more capable at handwriting. The pluses for the new 10.1 is it is bigger, faster, probably has even better Wacom digitizer. But it is very expensive and being brand new we dunno if it has bugs and stuff..
So, anyway, long story short. What should I go for: Galaxy Note 8 or the new Galaxy Note 10.1? Will an 8incher be enough for taking notes? I just intend to take notes and read PDFs... Not into playing games or drawing etc.
Go for the 10.1 and try to get hold of the Bluetooth S-Pen (HM5100). A perfect combination. The built in S-Pen is good, but the BT one just feels like a real pen which helps with the writing.
Wait until the new 10.1 comes out and go check it out. It's only a couple weeks away now. Get one of each in your hands and see how it works out. I started out with a Nook Color and found that a "tablet" that size was just too small for me. But I have a co-worker that has a Note 8 and prefers that smaller size.
Looks like the price difference will be just about $200. So...put the price aside for a moment unless you ABSOLUTELY have no option to come up with that additional amount. Try them both out. See which one would work best for you. If you are gonna be using it for hours every day, then maybe you can find somewhere else to cut the $200 difference to get what will work best for you.
Frankly, if you already think it's too small, it probably is, and you'll be discouraged from using it.Which means the investment won't be as valuable.
Also keep in mind that if you are talking about reading business type PDF's, they were probably designed to be viewed on big computer screens and created in 8 1/2 by 11 paper format. So now you're gonna squeeze them down to the size of a 5x8 notebook. Maybe your eyesight can handle that. Mine can't. I wear reading glasses even on the 10.1. So be sure to read a couple full size PDF pages when you go check them out. That will probably impact your decision.
Hey folks. i did a whole lot of research on buying this.
Considering that it is quite expensive, and the facts below:
1) i dont have a laptop beyond work laptop
2) i do have a desktop pc
I was thinking whether it is worthwhile getting this and it all comes down to how good its handwriting function is as it is the only thing making it worthwhile for me.
I read reviews etc. I tried one at a shop (though they dont keep the s pen on the device to avoid help, therefore my play time was rather limited, and it was on 10.1 inch version).
I wanted to ask those that use this for notes e.g. lecture notes, or business meetings; how fast can you actually write on this thing?
Our natural handwriting is for sure faster, however i wanted to have a realistic picture on the device's ability to be used for such purposes. I assume that its a matter of getting used to it? Is there a way to adjust/reduce latency?
Other than that, from current long stand owners, any advice regarding buying or not?
Personally I had purchased the tablet not only to serve as my primary media consumption device but also as a note taking device for my business meetings. Having tried a gamut of note taking applications and settling on one (LectureNotes) I'd say that you need not worry about the lack of performance with regard to natural handwriting note taking. You will surely find an application that will suit your needs (it is quite possible that the S-Note app that is built in will work perfectly for you as well).
I recall seeing that you asked about the potential lag during pen input when note taking. For note taking applications where you're writing directly onto a virtual piece of paper the input is practically instantaneous. If there's any lag it is not so much that it would be distracting.
The tablet also allows text input into text fields using handwriting as an alternative to keyboard use. This function works fairly well but here because it is doing OCR of your handwriting input will lag a little and you'll undoubtedly have errors (the frequency of which is a function of your handwriting legibility).
thanks for the quick reply. I think you have helped me!
Basically i do not care so much about the OCR speed, as much as i care about the effectiveness of this device as a replacement of pen and paper. This is what i will be trying to do. Getting the 12.2 will essentially be almost equivalent as an A4 paper. If i am happy about the handwriting capture speed and effectiveness it will mean that i will be digitizing my handwritten notes, which will enable better organisation etc. Tonite may be the night i press BUY ..
Thanks for your help. If you have more feedback, i will gladly take it!
Yes you'll definitely like it for this. Most note taking apps allow export to PDF as well so you can save your notes for use elsewhere. This comes in very handy!
I have used my note to replace paper notes. I'm a college student and take lots of notes, this device allows me to take my notes as fast as I do on paper. With the added benefit of changing colors, highlighting, etc.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
In terms of handwriting on a notetaking app, workst excellent. It does take some getting used to because you're not encourntering the same resistance as you do on a physical piece of paper. There's virtually no lag. (A few milliseconds, but that's the limitations of technology. You probably won't notice it if you're not used to noticing it.)
The OCR isn't infallable. I've had a friend who's a doctor try to use the direct handwriting input in my calendar, the result was a language I'm fairly sure nobody on this planet has ever heard of. (I'm still not sure what it is I'm supposed to do tomorrow... :laugh: )
I should mention I'm used to working with Wacom pens as I'm a long-time Intuos user (In Photoshop) and I own a Note 3.
I've also bought a Wacom Bamboo Feel for Note, because to me the Spen feels too small for lengthy use. (It's fine on my Note 3, but not on 12.2"). The plastic one is nice and light, but the carbon one feels really awesome. Too bad it's another 50 quid over the plastic one...
Great question and answers. I am also looking at this tablet primarily as a note taking tool for Graduate school but I'm torn between getting the 10in or 12in. Does anyone here have experience with both of these sizes when it comes to taking lecture notes?

Yes. Personally I prefer the 12.2" because it's almost the exact size of an A4 paper. So no need to adapt to a smaller size. To me, on my 10.1" tablet, I kept running out of screen in the middle of my writing. Not to mention it was a little uncomfortable because your hand floats in mid air when writing anywhere but the middle of the screen. The 12.2" has almost 50% more screen.
I currently have the 10.1 2014 edition and while I like it, I have a few frustrations.
1. pdf annotations take forever. Currently I've tried adobe reader, ezpdf, snote, and am finally going to try kindle since I heard it's very smooth though annotating on it leaves much to be desired.
2. If I sold my current 10.1 and upgrade to 12.2 it'd only be about an extra $150.
3. The extra space would be nice, since I find myself constantly pinching and zooming.
4. Some of the 'pro' features would be nice too (though I've heard it can be had on the 10.1 as well)
5. Thinking of selling my MacBook Air in favor for a 27" inch iMac for home use and the 12.2 Note pro for while I'm on the go.
I take a lot of hand written note in class, and while I'm not convinced yet I can ditch the paper and pen--I'm hopeful.
Any thoughts?

its pretty dead around here bud, Ijust got mine, wifi version, I had to root it clean it out and swap launchers to use it. I will say that it runs much better, however there are still bugs.. I press the home screen and I end up in the app box. I find a lot of apps look funky and do not run well. I dont really like the ipad due to it's limitations, but I'm thinking of sending this thing back and nabbing an ipad for travel.

Most of those issues are directly related to the fact it's the WiFi version. The LTE edition has a lot less issues. (My main argument for never buying a device with an Exynos. Snapdragon is simply more stable.)

I was in this exact situation. Even the amount cost wise to upgrade was the same for me. The extra space for what I do (math and biochem) was welcomed and probably my main deciding factor. It made a big difference for what I use the device for. I use ezpdf for my textbooks with no issue. I use dropsync to have them keep my home and work computers in line with my tablet work, reading, whatever I worked on. The pdfs size wise are hundreds to thousands of pages, full color, science textbooks. I use it for typing stuff and editing some of my website stuff as well. Occasionally digital painting when I get the craving. Otherwise comics or emulators for fun. I have replaced paper and pen almost completely, but you really want an aftermarket pen for it. If you work on it for any lengthy period of time that little dinky pen it comes with just doesn't cut it. It really depends what you are planning to do with it.

I've never had this issue with any Exynos device, this one or my previous note 10.1 or phones. Going on 5ish years now. I've had zero stability issues or speed issues. I haven't had anyone complain about these things really in my thread. Never heard of this from friends with the devices either.
I always find if there's a problem it's touchwiz or some samsung crap at fault.
I'll give ezpdf another shot. I turned me off on it was I couldn't readily find the eraser?
I'm also taking chemistry and in the medical field so I'm hoping this note could last me well into my time in Grad school.
Sometimes it's challenging to find a workflow that works best for you. Things get harder if documents are complicated and therfore don't convert well or use a lot of resources when loaded.
For PDF annotation I'm now using Papyrus, importing into that application to note take over the PDF prior to exporting back out to PDF. Works ok for me but YMMV.

its only so-so for note-taking in my opinion. i write tiny and fast, and it doesn't quite keep up, or register that i've lifted the pen. i bought a bamboo feel stylus hoping that would make it a better experience, but no dice. so don't ditch the pen and paper just yet.

One thing that made me finalize my decision was just how little space I have writing when I'm in split-screen mode. Reading PDF on one side and taking notes on Papyrus on the other. A little cumbersome. I'mma pull the trigger and upgrade. Sell my tricked out MBA and get the iMac at home. I can't get over how nice the iMacs are. That screen is gorgeous.
I hope I say the same about the 12.2.

I got the Note 10.1 2014 the day it came out. I use it for work meetings and take a fair amount of notes. I sold my 10.1 2014 and got the 12.2 about 2 months ago. The 12.2 is much better for taking notes. It is more like the size of a real note pad. The newer version of touchwiz seems lighter than on the 2014 as well. Based on what you have asked the 12.2 should be a better fit.

I have the wifi version (Exynos) and use Apex launcher. I use it 1-2 hours every night and can't remember it ever having "issues" other than maybe a little lag after running for a week or two without a reboot. A reboot and I'm good for another week or so. Although there is some good argument for the snapdragon version for better developer support I think that is the only reason. I have seen nothing so that leads me to believe the snapdragon version would be faster or more stable.
Just finally got the Note 12.2 Yesterday. Love it going to start using it in class today. One feature I really miss is the fast charging from Snapdragon devices but other than that nothing much. Lol my second exynos device, my note 2 was my first. Not many issues so far.
I was worried at first but it's not to laggy. It's really TouchWiz ran nova for a bit and it flew and I'm on stock so the deflated roms will be even better.

You could be fine then.
With this and gesture shortcuts I fly around to the things I need back and forth no issue. I tutor premeds and I study molecular virology and am doing the Grad School gig and I have no issue. The screen space upgrade for equations and such is what sold me. That was the only improvement from the 10.1 I needed once I used it for a few days I was pretty sure I could make it work. It doesn't seem that much larger but it made a world of difference. I can't do the whole continue my equation onto a second line even with proper annotation thing it drives me nuts.
So far I have done it. I don't do split screen, easy pdf makes a copy of my pdf so I leave the original pristine then I annotate into that, dropbox deals with all of it. If I use something to take note taking apps I prefer lecture notes over papyrus. Most the time I keep lecture notes open and the book open, then use LAS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abhi.lastappswitcher&hl=en, which will switch back to your last app like a tv romote can, makes switching between almost instant. Nice and smooth work without much waiting.

If you're on wifi the sm-p900 go grabbed my debloated one. You'll be happy, mem startup drops from around 2 to around 1gbs, just from all the bloat crap they have.
Ok, I have a S21+ and I really like the phone. However I got my hands in a S22 Ultra st a store and it seems wonderful. Did a wuick research and find out ots camera is a beast with 100x working zoom. The Spen seems to be more responsive too.
I never had a note nor any spen/stylus phone. So I ask you this, is the S-prn worth it? What you use it for the most? Could I be able to study, make engineering exercises (drawing circuits, etc.) with it? Or is the screen to small for that? How would you compare it with a real pencil and paper?
And about the phone overall? Is it much better than the S21+? As for now, the only thing that I like the S21+ more os the flat screen. I don't like the curved screen so much, but I always use a silicone case, so maybe that won't bother too much.
The screen is small for detailed drawings but you could work around that.
Smart capture is very useful when you need it and magnifier can be handy. Screen Write is very useful.
The bt shutter release is great.
Personally I prefer the form factor, right hand nested spen, the high color rendering index and SD card of the N10+ over the newer Samsung's as well as Android 9 or 10* with no scoped storage.
* older apps load and run correctly. No constant popups. Scoped storage isn't fully active. Scoped storage a mess.
Remember that the phones in the store are in Demo Mode. Everything is just a little snappier and a little brighter. That being said, I have an S22 Ultra and I like it. If the US version had root, I would love it!
I use the S-Pen for everything. It's so much easier than using my finger, Especially typing and selecting small things on the screen.

@Eagle 3 Indeed. I'm a bit worried that I might get lazy to get the spen from the phone everytime and ends up not using it enough...
Selecting small things is a pain with fingers, indeed.

Yes, it is much better for typing. I hardly ever make a mistake using the S-Pen, where as I make a lot using my finger.
I use the button on the S-Pen to take pictures, it prevents moving the phone unlike using my finger on the on-screen button which can cause movement.
IT depends on who you ask. IF you ask the note 10 + loverboy then he'll say it is the worst thing ever (then again he hates everything that came after the N10+).
I had the S21U and while it support SPEN, it does not have the full functionality as the Note 20's SPEN or the S22U's Spen.
I honestly love the S22U, I use the Spen constantly and I have no issues with it. Good for work stuff on the go, much more precise than fingers, and really fast to process.
IF you have a friend who has one, give it a test. if not, spend some time at the store playing around with it before commiting.

Yes, the spen is a great tool - even all those annoying pop up ads in your browser that you can never seem to hit the tiny "x" with your finger to do away with them are closed every time with my spen!

Don't try to put words in my mouth, I've been a voracious biter since birth.
The poor form factor and/or no built in nesting place out weigh the latency improvements.
Unless you're a lefty
Every right handed person holds the S22U in their left hand and fumbles for the spen when they need it as a consequence... brilliant.
On the bright side you don't need to worry about dismounting your SD card before removal, because Samsung went chitzy with the new flagships. Samsung, the new Apple

You always write with your s-pen? And do you literally write (and phone converts to text) or do you type with the pen?
Ok, i believe the argument that would make me buy it right away would be using it for study. What features would make it good for drawing small electric circuits, math graphics and equations? Only zoom in, zoom out?
And would it be as quick and stress free as pen and paper? I would hate to spend more time adjusting a graphic size three times and putting it in position. But maybe that's something a good, long time user wouldn't worry at all
I just got my S22 Ultra 5G the other day and love it, honestly its better than the Note 10+ in many ways, but a few it gets beat on. But the Samsung Galaxy Note Ultra 5G seems like there are quite a few things better for a drawing or art perspective of using the phone.
Except the one thing, is that if you are looking at using the S-Pen with the device, there are HUGE differences in the latency response from the phones.
The s22 Ultra comes in at an amazing 2.8ms, the Note Ultra comes in at 9ms, and then the Note 10+ comes in at 42ms

For that you be better off getting something larger. The screen size will prove inadequate I think... a laptop with a touch screen would be more appropriate.
For the money a used Dell from a trusted vendor be a lot more bang for the buck. Some allow for a second data drive to be added.
Or a tablet...

I tend to use the pen a lot for browsing, or using it instead of my finger in apps etc, as it's small less blocking the view, precise, and less oil from the hands on the screen.
I like to take written notes, or cut out stuff from websites to remember like books or some news articles. Take notes for in games, like some place to remember, or codes etc.
Signing pdf sometimes is also nice.
I think 50% of my typing (swiping works nice too)
I had the 21u but taking the separate pen along was irritating me. So I'm happy I got it in board again. Then again I have been using the Note series since the Note 2, so I'm full biased and indoctrinated in the church of the s-pen.

Well, I wasn't comparing it with the Note, but the S21+. Obviously, the S22 hardware is way better, but it's expensive. My only doubt is how often will i use the s-pen. And if I can use it to study. According to some answers it can't.
How often do you use the spen and for what?
@blackhawk hm. Do you did try to use it for studying or is that a feeling you have?
If I don't get the S22 uktra I will probably stick with my paper notr book for studying. A tablet is too big and everywhere I would have a tablet i could have my paper note. The advantage of the phone is that it's with me all the time.

I rarely write or draw with my N10+ as it's tedious to do. You could learn to adapt to a certain extent but you never have any "leg room" you need on this size of a screen especially for drawing detailed schematics. It's just too small, it gives me a sense of claustrophobia and proves to be quite annoying.
Just like trying to navigate over a large complex area on a small GPS display you constantly have to put up with tunnel vision. Constantly zooming in/out and so on. Doesn't seem very productive or good for one's sanity.
A paper map provides a better overview than GPS. In your case a pencil and note book or pad may be cheaper, more useful, easier on the eyes and sanity. Use can always take picture of a sketch you made then edit it with Screen Write
Use whatever comes in handy...
