5 Reasons to Buy the Galaxy Note 9 & 3 Reasons to Wait

Buy for the S Pen

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 comes with a supercharged S Pen and the stylus is one reason owners of devices like the Galaxy Note 5 should think about upgrading. 

Galaxy Note 9 rumors pointed to a powerful, Bluetooth-enabled S Pen and that's exactly what Samsung's delivered.

The Note 9's S Pen comes with Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) support which means you'll be able to take advantage of a variety of new functions. For example: 

• Use the S Pen as a remote camera shutter. 
• 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. 
• Press and hold the Pen button to open any app or S Pen feature.
• Set up single and double press Pen actions.

Another huge perk? Samsung says the new S Pen charges in the phone in just under a minute. Samsung also says developers will be able to "integrate the S Pen’s new, advanced BLE functionalities into their apps."

If you're a heavy S Pen user and want more out of the experience, you'll want to think about buying the Galaxy Note 9.
