Can no other Samsung?
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra It became the first mobile of the brand, outside the Note series, to be able to use the S Pen. Of course, you will not find it included in the phone box, since you must buy it separately with a special case to house it.
Another of its small drawbacks is that its functions are somewhat more limited than those seen in the Note family, with its special software optimized for its use. However, the thing does not end there, since the list of other smartphones of the company outside this series has been expanding over time.
Another of the lucky models to be able to make use of the South Korean brand’s stylus has been the Galaxy Z Fold3. In addition, this Samsung mobile became the firm’s first folding phone to be compatible with the S Pen. However, there is a small drawback, and that is that the oldest ones cannot be used, since, as the brand argues, the folding panel will be ‘severely’ damaged. So we must use the Fold Edition and Pro pencil.
And in the future, more and more terminals will continue to arrive in which we can take advantage of this accessory.
More mobile in the future
The brand wants to expand the use of the S Pen to more Samsung mobiles in the near future, although the models that will enjoy it are not clear. Although they did make it clear that since the S21 Ultra things have changed, so more and more smartphones from the Korean firm will be able to enjoy this accessory.
‘We are committed to innovating new mobile experiences that flow seamlessly and continuously to make our consumers’ lives easier and better. We have made the bold decision to expand the S Pen experience to the Galaxy S21 Ultra and plan to expand the S Pen experience to other device categories in the future.”
Samsung tablets
The Samsung S Pen basically uses Wacom technology, which allows differentiate it from a generic capacitive stylus. Plus, it has thousands of pressure points, so it’s almost like a real ballpoint pen. However, they are not all the same and they are not interchangeable. Although, here we leave you a list of the tablets of the South Korean firm in which you can use this accessory without any problem:
Starting from this point, these are the brand’s tablets that can enjoy the advantages offered by the Korean firm’s stylus.

Will not work with other brands
These types of gadgets work with any device, as long as our mobile has a capacitive touch screen. It is something that we must be clear about, the problem is that the Samsung model cannot be used with other phones or tablets. Why? Thing is, the S Pen uses an active digitizer like Wacom tablets.
However, rest assured, this type of accessories from other brands can be used. So there will be no problem when buying a more expensive or cheaper one. In addition, they do not require a battery, so we will not have to charge the pen or change its battery. And, in most cases, they are very cheap and easy to find. We can even make our own if we wish.
But, as we were saying, there are exceptions, such as the case of the S Pen, since they are only compatible with the Note, the S21 Ultra, the Z Fold3 and the tablets that we have mentioned before. This is because it basically uses Wacom technology, which allows it to be differentiated from a generic capacitive optical one. In addition, this Samsung accessory must be connected to the device so that we can get the most out of all the features that this South Korean brand gadget brings with it. For this reason, if you had in mind to buy one for your iPhone, Xiaomi or Huawei, you better forget about it and decide to buy a generic one.
