My father just had got one of these phones for his very first smart phone. Until now he's had a standard black flip phone. He had a accident a few years ago and damaged his neck which limit's the use of his hands and his walking. He started messing around on my tablet and asked what I thought he should get for a smart phone. I suggested a Samsung note of some kind cause they are extremely reliable phones, and because it comes with a pen which I thought might aid him when he needs to be precise on a little button. He absolutely loves it. Fits his special needs more then any other phone. It's got great settings for people with difficulty seeing as well. Btw he is 65 years old ik most of y'all are probably in your teens, 20s and 30s but for those of u who might have difficulty with ur hands/vision this is the phone to get

Great video, thank you! I don't know if anyone has noted this since i didn't have the desire to go over 442 previous comments, but I think I found a better way to keep your original pen color on the Lock Screen. In the Samsung Note menu you simply press the 'All Notes' menu on the right. You then press the settings icon on the top right. In the section 'Screen off Memo' you press 'Pen color for saved notes' and change it from signature color to Black. Now you can write notes with your designated color (e.g. yellow) on the lock screen, but the note will appear in Samsung Notes in black. Good luck! and thanks again :)

Using the s pen as a remote shutter is clutch. When I go hiking it'll be nice to set my phone on a tripod and remote shoot a picture!

It's actually as easy to set audio control to on then just say 'Shoot' or 'Cheese'. Definitely better if you are operating hand held - less vibration!

Kingz Leez You know from observing these smartphones i have come to the conclusion that the iphone never stood a chance against the high-end Android phones after 2012. The iphone is a good phone but to be honest ,Its not on tha same level as those boss Android phones. I believe Apple knows this too, Ask anyone who really knows about tech and they will probaly say the same thing. Android won this war, its so clear to see this but iphone users will deny this.

[@lauriealach1072]

Droid, a really good coverage of the magnificent s-pen. A feature you didn’t mention in Air Command is the scroll capture which is a part of the screen write feature. It is exceptionally useful for taking a capture of a list which in a web page stretches over several pages. Normally you can only capture as far as the bottom of the screen. If you want to capture long lists, you need to take several captures and somehow stitch them together. With the scroll feature your capture of long lists or articles is easily accomplished. Yours is an excellent coverage otherwise. I hope it encourages people to buy the Note and use the magical s-pen extensively.

[@5Bigfoots]

Awesome video! Totally makes me want to explore with the pen more. I mean I already use it a lot, but there is so much it can do that I don't take advantage of.

That hand written text to phone text works so well. I would not use it myself for texting, but I tried it out and can say it is so good that even some of my poorer written text I did it put in accurately. I can see some older people who hate texting loving that. I do use fleksy keyboard though and it is good for me on ios (my iPod Touch 6) and my Note 10. I didn't get the note 10 plus at is had a front camera in the way of the screen which made me not like the display L0L.

You can press on the button and hold to select text, also keep pressing the button in some apps to use the eraser like in Onenote or Samsung note, the glance is to use two apps simultaneously but mainly to look at one while hovering over it and then it disappears when you go to your app, let's say getting info from a massage you want to insert into another app
