The S Pen has come a long from being just a stylus.
The new S Pen for 2019 offers a few more goodies to make it a much-needed accessory. Last year they made it a Bluetooth LE device and added take a photo, skip songs, or accelerate your presentation.
The year, you get a redesigned S Pen w/ a 6-axis motion sensor + accelerometer inside, motion-tracking to use as gestures called Air Actions, you can also use it to switch between camera lenses before taking a photo w/ it, and a longer battery life for the S Pen itself that can still be recharged by placing it back into the phone.
