How to Use the S-Pen With a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Samsung announced recently that users of its flagship phone, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, will get to add a stylus. Galaxy fans rejoiced at the thought of using the S-Pen in a variety of ways, and the uses do not disappoint. Here are some of our favorite ways to use the two in tandem.

Of course, one of the main reasons to use a stylus is to draw. In live messages, you can draw your own emojis and messages on photos and send them to your friends. Even cooler is the AR Doodle, which lets you draw in 3D space. And using the Smart Select feature, you’ll be able to quickly click and collect pictures or videos.

If you hover the pen over the screen and push the pen’s button, you can pull up a whole new menu of options and shortcuts, so start getting use to using these until they become second nature. Samsung has also announced the launch of the S-Pen Pro, which is still mostly under wraps but is rumored to have Air Gestures and a remote shutter, so more to come on that soon.
