Earlier today, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab A lineup with tablets coming in 8- and 9.7-inch display sizes. The company also quietly included a variant that features the valuable S Pen for compatibility with the S Note application. The S Pen, which is commonly bundled with Galaxy Note series devices, allows for note-taking, drawing, and other activities common when taking pen to paper. This is the first time that Samsung is bringing the S Pen to more affordable devices.

Does that mean we can use the S-pen with non-Note series Samsung devices?

  Unless it was just being used as a glorified stylus, the device would still have to have the digitizer hardware in place to support the pen technnology that is in the stylus.

    Thank you very much. Didn’t think about the digitizer.
