Keeping the leaks coming for the Note 9 and the Galaxy event on August 9th, we got details on the new S Pen and what it can do. We already know that the S Pen will have Bluetooth abilities and possibly more color options.
Now moving onto what the new S Pen will be able to do. The folks over at XDA Developers got a look at leaked firmware for the upcoming Galaxy Tab S4 which will also be armed w/ an S Pen. So the features are within the realm of what we thought it might offer.
So we’re looking at abilities like remote camera shutter, remote phone unlock, music control, and more. Here’s everything they have detailed below:
- Control music with the S Pen. This will probably allow you to control music like you can with earbuds by pressing the play/pause button. The S Pen button will probably let you play and pause music while also allowing you to skip music tracks.
- Use the S Pen as a remote camera shutter. This could be useful in situations where you want to take a picture of yourself and prop up your phone.
- You will be able to remotely unlock your phone if the S Pen was removed from the phone and then the phone locks.
- You will be able to press the S Pen button to do more in a range of apps. We don’t know about what other integrations with apps the S Pen will have, though, as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 hasn’t launched.
- Press and hold the Pen button to open any app or S Pen feature.
- Set up single and double press Pen actions.
So for you Note fans out there, who’s looking forward to the possible new features coming to the Note 9?
