What is the Honor notes app like? I assume it syncs, but no desktop app? Can you test with OneNote for a cross platform app? Good test on the outside screen while off, and like the idea of keeping the same note open... Very smart.

It does sync to Honor Cloud, and I believe there's a way to access them from your browser (not 100% sure though, didn't do enough research since I don't use this app). You can't sync the Honor Notes App with OneNote, so you should use OneNote to create the notes on the phone instead.

Sorry if you mentioned it, but can you select any text on the honor as you can with the samsung?? On my Z Fold I can select text from any app by holding the button, even if it's not an editable field. (I don't mean taking a screenshot and then using OCR like Smart Select. I know you can do that in any phone) Also does the pen work as mouse in the browser (i.e. opening hover menus that normally don't work on phones)
@maddada2 ай бұрын
Thank you for telling me about the "selecting any text" feature on Samsung, didn't know about it even though I used the S Pen a ton. On the Honor you'd have to take a screenshot (3 finger swipe down or from the pen menu) then select the text from that (you can translate, search, copy, etc.) Yes, the hover feature does work on the Honor. It seems this feature stopped working a while ago on my Fold 4 because I had an accessibility service on, I disabled it and tried multiple browsers and Firefox is the best one for this hover behavior (on both the Magic V3 and the Fold 4). I see a lot of reports on reddit that it's not working except on Firefox.

Is there a handwrite to text feature built in the keyboard like in Samsung's keyboard? 3.
