I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE. I am NOT sure how to charge the S-Pen. Nothing in YouTube or the manuals in samsung site. I see some reviews that it can't be wireless (or bluetooth?) charged. I attach it to the back of the tablet but not sure whether it's charging.
Also, I am unable to check how much battery is left on the S-Pen as well? Any ideas?
The S-Pen which comes with the SGT S7 FE does not have the same bluetooth features as the regular SGT S7 or S7 Plus.

I get it and that's why I am asking how to charge it and check the battery status.

Did you read my reply? Here is the short answer the S-Pen which comes with the Galaxy Tab 7 FE is not rechargable!!! It gets it power off the electromagnetic grid that is embedded in the display.

Wow, your initial reply didn't say anything remotely close to the electromagnetic grid as it simply states that it doesn't have the bluetooth features like its bigger cousins.
In the reviews, I too found out that it doesn't have bluetooth features and only your reponse came close to how it gets its power. So, if it gets its power off of the grid, then isn't that superior to the bluetooth features as you don't need to charge it all?
Unfortunately, the Samsung support has no clue about how it gets charged as well. They keep reciting the features of S7+.
Anyways, thanks for the response.

My bad, I thought that you had a basic understanding of how the S-Pen works lol
The bluetooth features for bluetooth enabled S-Pen is to provide addition functions, like being able to use the S-Pen as a remote to take pictures on your Note 9/10/20. Or being able to use it to control the media player. Or allow you to use it as a wand to swipe up and down to change from the main camera to the front facing camera.

Gosh, I know how the SPen works and you don't even get my original question. Please read it and educate yourself if you are going to respond to my question.
Let's be clear, the answer to the question how do you charge the S pen included with the Tab S7 FE is you don't. It does not require charging. It has no battery. It is a dumb pen.
If you are talking about an S pen which has smart features and does require charging, i.e. one that did not come with your Tab S7 FE reviews suggest the Tab doesn't have the ability to charge those pens while the S7 non-FE does. If you wanted smart features I think you would have to use the S Pen Pro which charges via USB-C.
will the new tab s7 FE spen work with other Samsung models?
I understand spens are cross compatible between smartphone and tablet models. For example, the spen of a note 8 will work on a tab s7+ and vice versa.
It is important to clarify that this applies to the tip (nibs) of the spens. The obvious exception to this rule is the wireless functionality of the latest spen models with older smartphone/tablet models. But the basic works, that is, using the spen for handwriting and drawing.
Please corrent me if wrong.

I just tested my S7 FE with the pen from my S6 Lite and it worked fine. I would assume any of the passive pens will work.

Yes. All S-Pens will work on other Note and S-Pen enabled devices with the exception of the Galaxy Z Fold 3, as that has it's own dedicated S-Pen. Due to the more delicate display.

Also add the Note 20 Ultra to that list of devices the basic (dumb) S-Pen will not work with. I tested it on my Tab S4 (my trade-in device for getting the S7 FE for $162) as well as my S7+ and it works with them, but not my Note 20 Ultra.

Really, as I was able to use the S-Pen from my Note 8 on the retail demo unit of a Note 20 Ultra....

The S pen that comes with the FE Tab works fine on my Note 20 Ultra, Well it touches etc, selects and swipes as much as a dump pen can
Keep seeing good reviews on the Samsung Expert Raw app for the S21 Ultra but the app force closes on the Note 20 Ultra.
Any chance there will be a version for our phones? Or a modded version for us?
Our cameras are virtually the same so it shouldn't be a big deal I would think
allegedly Samsung is working on expanding raw app compatibility with other devices
Does it allow 3d scanning or use of the Samsung 3d scanner app? I had it on my Note 10, bougjt my 20 Ultra and have since gotten big into printing so I miss having the option to mess with it, and now I'm looking for a new phone. And does the Fold 3 have the ability? I tried to search here and online in general, even YouTube but all I come across is info for the older Note 10s, another manufacturer, or someone asking the same question and not getting a response. If both if these phones have the ability (or I determine 3d scanning isn't a deciding factor), which phone would you guys recommend; although I apologize, I'm sure it's been answered ad nauseam, but I haven't searched and I'm already asking about 3d scanning so I might as well include this here too! Thanks in advance.
Well you could do what some of us have done, get a N975U1 even though it's 3 years old, it's has it's advantages in form factor, display and more. Bonus it's ram seems to handle heavy loading better than the S22U and in actual use is only slightly slower; actually faster once the ram gets loaded up. New ones are running on Q.
New ones can still be had.

Samsung's 3D scanning app is not yet available on the S22 or Fold. It was only on the Note 10 and Note 20. The S21 didn't get it either.
I recommend the S22 Ultra, I have one and it's a great phone. My wife and daughter have the S22+ and S22, respectively, and they both are very happy with them.
Try https://m.all3dp.com/2/best-3d-scanner-app-iphone-android-photogrammetry/ , never used any myself so I don't know if they are any good

If you had a Note 10+ and not a note 10, isn't it because the Note 10+ has a ToF sensor and the S22U not?

This is correct, Samsung removed the ToF sensor after the S20 Ultra and opted to use the laser autofocus module for more accurate focus starting with the Note 20 Ultra.
Hi all,
Samsung has optimised the new s22 ultra so that it uses the phones camera features in snapchat and instagram.
Just wondering if theres a way to "trick" snapchat/instagram into thinking that the note 20 is the s22 and make use of this feature?
Im using a stock exynos note 20 ultra and sitting on the fence whether i should root or not.
Thanks

I have Pixel 6 pro and have S22 Ultra, when I do photos side by side, S22 Ultra can't make so good photos. Colours are washed out, details are missing. Even same zoom level photos with pixel have more detail and for example, you can read letters of object you take photo (carbord box with black letters) and on S22 ultra you just get blurry black line.
Expert Raw gives better output, but still can't match Pixel 6 Pro.
So what I see hardware is there and sometimes S22 Ultra comes close, but just point and shoot not satisfied with such camera for price of phone.
Only hope is that Android 13 and software update might get things right. Please share if you know.

I am not saying that there are crappy photos, but mi 11 ultra and Pixel 6 Pro are making better ones. And in all reviews there are this a bit of better detail with Snapdragon version.
So I just looking for ways to get S22 pictures to be natural colour and looking at least like Pixel 6 Pro.
But on paper S22 Ultra should be making better pictures because of all camera modules etc.

I still reckon you have a dodgy phone. I replaced my mi11 with a S22 Ultra. The photos are waaaaay better.
Just small crop from S22 and Pixel 6 pro, this is what I am talking about.... 1st Pixel, 2ns S22 Ultra

yes that's from cheaper pixel 6 pro and it's better
Pixel series from years had and still have very good algorytmics, software and all this make very good work.
Maybe in paper PIxels cameras don't look like other devices but in real this devieces from Google can make very good photos (not always movies) even after updates, and presentation next models (read aging device like samsung can do it)
Samsung do not focuses to do possibility maximum good software like Google in PIxel for cameras because easier and more profits is show new device for samsung.
Pixels have always been the best camera phones simply just for their pre- and post-processing, especially now with Tensor.
I saw reports about the camera quality being worse for the Exynos variant compared to Snapdragon on the S22 Ultra though, so for sure this is a factor as well. Europe just always gets screwed over.
There's not much you can do; did you try using the optimizing feature from the S22 Ultra's gallery/photo editing app? Heard it's pretty good. Otherwise you're probably stuck with either "blurry" photos (still good ones though!) or you need to tweak 'em manually.

Expert Raw+ good light can do something close but still, it's 400 EUR more expensive and I need to make photos look better .
Yes they aren't garbage but even far from Mi 11 Ultra.
