I’ve been a fan of the S Pen ever since Samsung rolled it out with the OG Galaxy Note in 2011. Through the years it’s received its fair share of upgrades, offering users extra utility beyond the standard stylus. With the introduction of the Galaxy S24 Ultra at the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event, however, it rarely got any mention.
In fact, the only time it was shown off was when Samsung demoed how handwritten notes can be better aligned if you happen to trail off in some wandering way. My chicken scratch penmanship is already atrocious, so automatically aligned handwriting is the least of my worries. But you know what? This isn’t new because the Galaxy S23 Ultra can already do this.
