There are many reasons to buy the Galaxy Note 10 phones and some of the obvious ones are bigger screens, powerful specs and most importantly, the S-Pen. The S-Pen has been a signature feature that has set Samsung Galaxy phones apart. The S-Pen has evolved over the years and is now an intelligent tool that can unlock the doors of fun and productivity on the Note 10 devices.
The Samsung S-Pen features a sleek design and comes with added air action controls, which enables you to remotely control the Note 10. So what can you do with the Note 10 and the S-Pen? Let’s find out.
Take control of the Note 10’s camera
Clicking selfies and getting everyone in the frame before the camera self-timer goes off is an annoyance. The new S-Pen on the Note 10 devices helps make the most of every moment. It allows you to remotely control the Note 10 Camera app. So, with just a few swipes, clicks and rotations of the S-Pen in the air you can capture photos and videos from a distance.
The best part about the S-Pen is that it works perfectly from 10 meters away. This means, you can easily mount your phone on a stand and click as many group photos using the S-Pen. The way the S-Pen works is simple. Simply pull out the S-Pen and follow the instructions on the phone’s screen. For instance, a single press of the button launches the Camera app, pressing it twice toggles the camera modes. The best part is that you can customize the S-Pen’s air actions to click photos and videos in even simpler ways.
Use the Note 10’s screen like a sheet of a paper
Taking down notes on a notepad or even on a smartphone is a pain. You need to follow a lengthy process of first unlocking the phone, opening Notes and creating a new Note. With the Samsung Note 10, the S-Pen works its magic with the Screen-off memo feature. The Note 10’s screen acts like a sheet of a paper, so you can pull out the S-Pen and just start writing. You could be in a meeting or a classroom, and take notes without even turning on the phone’s screen. That’s not all, you can also refer to older notes, edit them or copy text from them.
The fun part of the Screen-off memo is that you can set pen colours and thickness. If needed, you can even organize notes based on their colours. This is something new about the recently launched Galaxy Note 10 phones.
Control third-party apps using Air actions
On most smartphones, we use the inbuilt Notes app to save notes but sharing them can be annoying. With the help of the S-Pen, you can easily share handwritten notes by exporting them to different formats including Microsoft Word.
The most interesting thing is the handwriting-to-text conversion something the Samsung Notes app is very good at. You can even highlight important notes using some the highlighter and colour tools.
The Screen Recorder feature can be handy for vloggers or those who create video tutorials. Using this feature, you can capture or record screens and allow the S-Pen to add text or reactions to make the videos livelier and informative. The Note 10 records videos in 4K and you can edit those on the phone itself. Yes, it is possible with the Samsung S-Pen. Samsung’s in-built video editor support S-Pen and you can edit videos like a pro by making fine edits, adjusting playback speed, adding effects and trimming videos.
Besides clicking photos and editing videos, the S-Pen can control music playback which is useful when your phone is mounted on a stand. For example, a single click plays or pauses tracks whereas double-clicking it changes the music track. The S-Pen is also a great productivity tool. It acts as a presentation pointer to control PowerPoint slides.
Some of the S-Pen’s air actions work with the Google Chrome browser. A simple up-and-down swipe in the air lets you scroll through webpages. The S-Pen can translate text, even teach you how to pronounce difficult words while browsing pages in other languages.
The world of AR doodling
What makes using the Note 10 and the Note 10 Plus fun is the AR doodle feature. The Camera app is integrated with AR and 3D capabilities. The ultra-wide angle camera especially opens up doors of creativity for Note 10 users, letting them use the S-Pen to personalize photos by doodling on them, applying effects and animations. In addition, the 3D DepthVision camera scans your face into a moving emoji. These two are particularly fun features, which you’ll enjoy.
The Samsung S-Pen has changed the way we interact with our smartphones. With the S-Pen, users get the freedom of remotely accessing the phone’s camera, jotting down notes, music and much, much more. So, why wait when you can experience the magic of the S-Pen in your hands? Walk into your nearest Reliance Digital store for a live demo.
