Four speakers,
fantastic sound

Write
naturally

The new, redesigned S Pen feels and writes just like your favourite ballpoint, plus it doesn't need recharging. Measuring 9 mm in diameter, it ensures a stable, comfortable grip. And we've narrowed the tip to 0.7 mm for the clearest, most natural handwriting yet.
