A new video released by Samsung to highlight the capabilities of its S Pen in the Galaxy Note 4 may not be the most inventive, but it does get the job done. The enhanced S Pen is one of the selling points of the newest member of the Note family and this video might give you a case of Pen envy as you see all the cool and useful things that it can do.
The Smart Select feature of the S Pen allows you to use multiple images and text to capture and share with your friends or loved ones, either through email, chat or other apps that you need. So those pegs for the bridesmaid dress you want to wear for your friend's wedding can be sent in one fell swoop through your FB messenger. Another Smart Select cool feature is that when you use the S Pen to capture images or text, it can detect which related apps you may need to use to share it or which app you can use to understand it better, like Maps to locate a certain address or a calendar to add an appointment in your chat thread.
The Photo Note feature lets you capture written notes, whether on your lecturer's white board or your own notes or doodles during a meeting. You can convert the photo to editable text, then add or erase or edit your notes to your satisfaction. You can also now get the meta data from screenshots that you've taken using the enhanced S Pen which makes it easier for you to trace where you actually got a photo in your screenshots log.
The Galaxy Note 4 has already been released in South Korea and China end of September but is expected to be available in the US and Canada this October 17. There has been much anticipation for the new phablet, primarily because Samsung has been hyping it up leading to the launch event just before IFA 2014. So far, our hands-on experience has been pretty good, so let's see how it will do in a market that is saturated with all kinds of smartphones, tablets and phablets.
