Likely not an option. The screen doesn't have the corresponding technology to receive S-Pen input. Note 8, Chromebook Pro/Plus, and probably the S Tab 3 use a technology in the screen as well as the pen.

Thank you for the update. But are there any other options not necessarily S Pen?

I am using the galaxy s9 plus and if I add an activity using nova launcher, under Samsung DeX there is an activity called s pen input mode, calls on com.android.launcher3.settings.SPenInputModePrefer enceActivity, and when activated pops up permission denied. Maybe there is some sort of hope?

Stylus
Hi!
I'm an artist and recently bought an s9 because my s7 broke.
My husband loves having the newest phone and bought a note 9 and I must say I was very jealous of his SPen... even though a note 9 is not practical for me because it's too large!
He bought me a stylus from Amazon. Works great!

Which one is it, do you know? I want one so bad that works with the S9+

There are a number of styluses that would work, but they won't be as responsive as those that come with the Note series.

The note series phones have a piece behind the lcd that picks up the stylus from the bite series. It's physical hardware and software that allows them to work as good as they do.

S pen replacement tips?

Hi. I purchased a refurbished note pro a week ago and the black rubber tip of the s pen has broken off. It didn't come with replacements and the only replacements I can find are for the note 3/4... I read somewhere that these won't fit so does anybody know where I can find ones which do? Thanks
AFAIK Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Note Pro and Note 3 use the same stylus tips... And I think Note 4 too.

Thanks but I can't seem to find clarification of this anywhere. I can only find replacement tips for the note 3 in the UK and it specifically says on the eBay description that they will only fit the note 3 stylus so I'm a bit confused :/
I just replaced the tip of my note pro 12.2 stylus with one from my Note 4. Works just fine.

Going for a Note 9 yes/no

So with the Note 9 only about 1 months and 7 days away and plenty rumours/leaks going, are you considering upgrading your Note 8 and if so, what would be your main decider/s for doing so?
I'm well happy with N8 but if I for under 1k can get 512gb storage, 8gb ram, closer to 4000mah battery (maybe even faster charging) camera even better than S9+, upgraded front cam (maybe even a dual) s-pen we know will come with new stuff just not what yet.
Improved DeX experience, Bixby 2.0
Stereo speakers
What else could sway you?
Forget about the under screen fp scanner, it won't happen

Nah in Dubai, we usually don't have to wait that long for Samsung and Apple phones to reach us!
Definitively NO, I am happy with my note 8, I will wait for the note 10, I think a major leap will come with it, all rumors and leaks do not justify the expense, imho
I am not going to upgrade my Note 8. The only issue I have with the note8, is the lack of stereo speakers and a few scratches on the glass. Since my warranty lasts until November 2018 I I will probably get my screen repaired under warranty in August or September and then I'll be set with my note8 until next year and I'll either get the S10 Plus or the Note 10 depending on how quickly I want to get a new phone.
My battery life is fantastic, and the phone seems to run better than it did when I got it in September 2017.
I'm sure the note 9 is going to be an amazing phone, but I can wait until March or later for the S10. I'm not skipping that generation of phone if they managed to deliver on some of this stuff that Samsung has been developing

no. i made a similar thread as to this. My cell addiction has been kicked. I got my asus gaming laptop that does all but drive or teleport, and my note 8 thats just fine with me. Remember promises made with the Note 8 when we got it. Expect the same again.

August 9, is the reveal in New York, and it may be a week later to preorder madness.
With T-Mobile JOD I will definitely be moving up from the Note 8 to the 9
Don't think so
no
No, no and no.
If Note 9 is the same form factor (dimensions and curves) and forced OS with Note 8 I won't bother. In fact, I am about to get rid of my Note 8 and return to Galaxy Note 4 or 3. Of just get an iPhone 8 and always carry a piece of paper and a pencil.
Nope. Pixel 3xl or big iPhone x
I've been eyeing up the Razer Phone or the Asus ROG phone. I'll keep my note 8 since I really do like it. But the gaming phones seem like they would be fun devices, especially with the unlocked bootloaders. Razer has one and Asus has historically allowed it. Still have my pixel too but I think project treble is going to solve the reason I got that one. Was pretty disappointed note 8 never had PT.

Nah I'm sticking with the note 8. No point upgrading every year. 24 months is better

Can anyone recommend a better phone for €240?

It's nearly Christmas and I'm looking for a gift for my mum. For the past 4 years she's been using a Samsung Galaxy s3 and has been reluctant to upgrade, though at this point it's become so temperamental that Santa's gonna put his foot down and get her a new phone
I love my pocophone, she loves the photos I take with it and I've got a chunk of cash burning a hole in my pocket. I've seen the 128 gb version new for €240 which seems a no brainer
MIUI is no harder to use than the antiquated junk on her s3 and she'll love the 2 day battery life
My question to you good people is:
I haven't been watching the other phones on the market. Is there anything that competes seriously in the same price range? I'd rather not get her anything second hand as Santa still doesn't recycle, surprisingly enough
Thanks for any suggestions
I was hoping for the note 10 / cc9 pro but I'd say other than the camera it is worse and costs 450€, like wtf. The only thing which the poco is lacking in my opinion is nfc. If she is not going to use it she'll be perfectly fine with the phone. Ah and ghost touches. Lets hope that there are no fts panels around anymore or whatever the reason for that is.
I would say the Poco F1 might be overkill. Go checkout the Redmi Note 7 or Redmi Note 8 plenty fast and also very good camera. Might be a bit cheaper and will work just as good.

I miss NFC too, but mum wouldn't know what to do with it! Agreed about the note 10. Wondered about getting her a Redmi Note 8, but I gather the camera lets it down

Perhaps you're right - any opinions of the camera?
I guess the battery life would be huge too, given the processor
The Moto One Action And One Vision are pretty good fones...

If she has an S3 now she will be over the moon with the Redmi Note 7 or 8 camera, my colleague was really happy with the pictures. A serious advantage over the S3 in darker wintertime etc. Also the speed of the camera is a lot faster. You can also install Gcam on them without rooting or modding them which is also great if you want to get her into photography.
When it comes down to battery life, yup, both phones are really amazing.
I also own a Redmi Note 5 pro and to be honest and fair, the processor in the Poco F1 is overkill for what I do. The Redmi Note 5 already handles everything more than fast enough without any waiting. Click and it's there, no frustration or lag. The 7 and 8 even have faster cpu's so no worries on that front.
Just some advice if you buy for your mother (my mother has a Redmi Note 5 pro also, guess how that happened ). What I did was order a glass screen protector and some cases. I guess for 20 euro on Aliexpress you are more than settled. Giving her the phone is really nice but giving it completely protected and usable is a must and she will really like that.
Redmi Note 8 pro or Mi 9 lite
I followed the above recommendations and bought a Redmi note 8
It arrived this week
It's great! She's gonna love it!
(Unfortunately I got it from an AliExpress seller meaning I was hit for another chunk of vat - should have bought it from eglobalcentral where I got my f1; they ship from within the eu)
Thanks for the advice peeps!
Interesting to note the feel of it - felt at least as well put together as my pocophone. Obviously a tiny bit of lag noticeable here and there, but it was minimal - though I saved it the burden of trying PUBG on it!
fones €240
Realme note 5 pro
Nokia 6.x
Mi8
xiaomi A3 (but ram is only 4gb , however xiaomi Cc9e chinese version has 6gb, camera result is not so good)
y7 (amazing camera)
and ofcourse
Galaxy M30 ! (or if you can go €300) (m30s 6/128 variant is something you should seriously check out)
Go with Redmi Note 8 Pro
As i strongly believe she doesn't require anything like Snapdragon 845

Ipad or s7 ??

Hello guys
Ipad air 4 2020 or sam tab s7
Tow in the same price
Which one you advice me to pickup??
Thnx
Since this is a tab S7 forum, I'm going out on a limb and say the Tab S7...
Cheers
Thank you
I know , this why I ask my question here.
Let me ask with another words :
What I will lose if I got apple iPad system ios against Android??

Android
Dex
Included Pen
memory card slot
They said that apps in ios is better than Android, coause it billed for iPad.
Dex is perfect just for some apps only
Ipados 15 beta still doesn't have progress bars for transfering files. Ya i would have gotten the m1 iPad pro 12.9. But Samsung gave me $500 for my tab s6. Also Samsung and amd have a chip coming out that's gonna have double to gpu power of the m1.

Ipad with M1 chip is superior device when it comes to share performance. So if you really need the processing power for your tasks, then go with Ipad M1. There is no other device on the planet than can beat the M1 chip that Apple has made. That goes for the MacBook M1 as well, beats the crap out of all Windows Laptops, even $2000 ones. And don´t forget the M1 chip needs no fan for cooling, so 100% silent and cost only $1000.
However, if you want the best tablet for entertainment, normal usage of normal apps, best screen on the planet, 120 hz refreshrate, good dolby atmos speakers, 45W super fast charging and great DEX features, then S7+ is the bomb! Also I think the S7+ has a far better design than the Ipads.
Avoid the smaller S7. It does not have OLED screen, so blacks are gonna look trash.
Thnx , today I got s7 plus..... finally.
