One of the main features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is its S Pen, a pencil that allows us to draw on the screen. This S Pen now includes more features and new features that improve the experience with the terminal. Not sure how to take advantage of it? Next, we show you 5 more interesting functions that you can do with the Stylus of the Samsung phablet.
Remote control
The novelty of the S Pen in the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It now has bluetooth connectivity and a small battery that makes the pen last about 30 minutes or the equivalent of 200 clicks. Remote control can be very useful, here are some practical tips.
- You can open the camera application wherever you are. Just press and hold the little button with the pointer.
- Taking advantage of the fact that you are in the camera, if you click you can take a photo. Two clicks, go to the front camera.
- In the gallery you can also use the remote control, if you click you pass the image, two clicks go back.
- Another use may be for multimedia. In videos or songs, if you click, you stop the music or video, with two clicks you move forward.
- On the slides, you can go forward with one click or go back with two.
Create GIFs
GIFs are those moving images that are very, very fashionable. They can be seen on Instagram, twitter, WhatsApp… You can also create them with the Galaxy Note 9 and its S Pen. To do this, remove the S Pen and click on the shortcut that says “Smart Select”. In the upper area you will see an option that says GIF. Press and select the area you like the most, it can be from a video from the gallery, YouTube or even from the interface of the terminal itself. Then click on record and voila, the clip will be saved in the gallery.
Color
The Galaxy Note 9 has an application called Penup. It usually appears in the shortcuts of the S Pen, but if you do not have it, it is available for free in the Samsung app store. With Penup we can draw on an empty canvas, color user creations or view live drawings. All in an interface that is constantly updated with new drawings. In addition, it has different editing options, such as choosing the type of pen, brush, size or color.
Translate
With the help of Bixby and the Google translator we can translate text regardless of where it is. Even the text that appears in an image. We just have to select "translator" through the S pen shortcuts, those that appear when it is removed from the device. When we have it activated, we will only have to move the pointer to the word we want to translate. As simple as that.
Internet and the S Pen
Samsung's Internet app is very complete, and more so with the Galaxy Note 9 pointer, as it includes some very interesting features.
For example, we can scroll without touching the screen, point close to it in the area below and it will automatically move. In addition, we can also make a preview of those images that allow it. For example, on a clothing page. Another very practical action is the selection of links. If we bring the S Pen closer to the link bar, a button will appear that will select the entire link and a new window will open where we can write the url, copy it or edit it.
