S Pen
Your Samsung Galaxy Note II comes with a stylus, which Samsung calls the S
Pen. The S Pen is stored in the Galaxy Note II on the right side and you pull it
out from the lower right. This section covers some of the S Pen’s features and
functions.
Getting to Know the S Pen
Let’s take a look at the S Pen itself and learn about its features.
• Stylus tip— The S Pen stylus tip is what makes contact with the screen as
you write and draw. The stylus tip is pressure sensitive so it knows how
hard or soft you are pressing. This is particularly useful for drawing as
pressure translates into line thickness.
• S Pen button—The S Pen button adds extra functionality to the S Pen.
When you press the button as you drag the pen on the screen, you can
perform functions, such as moving between screens, taking screenshots,
and even cutting out parts of any screen.
