Samsung Galaxy Note 9:Check on Amazon Check on Amazon IndiaThe new Galaxy Note comes with its digital S Pen stylus and Samsung’s now-signature curved glass screens. We still miss the Noris Digital pen that they demoed back in 2017 at MWC. Samsung has yet to disclose specifics like pricing or availability for the Noris digital, but given the reaction it had drawn from many people besides myself, we hope that it would surely would become a favorite accessory to pair with any one of Samsung’s newly expanded range of stylus-friendly tablets (Tab S4) or even its next Galaxy Note device.However, the newer models lack some features which we always would have liked, especially when they dropped features after their Note 3 line. The Note range of phones is getting back S-Note features of various text commands including the bullet points.We would ideally want all the Note devices from phones to transfer to all tablets with the S-Note app and should be able to share S-Notes among each other.We did not like when the back, home, & menu was a part of the screen that will ideally move with screens rotation got dropped from first generation Notes to newer ones. However, the new Note is sleek, and its gorgeous OLED display is our instant favorite.

Samsung Galaxy S9+:Check on Amazon Check on Amazon IndiaBefore you decide to go with this option, let’s get one thing straight, this phone does not have Ink support and lacks the S-Pen features. On the flipside, Apps such as Onenote on Android does support “inking” using your fingers. You can use any capacitive stylus that can simulate a touch to work with it.

Samsung Galaxy Note8:Check on Amazon Check on Amazon IndiaWhen the Note 8 was released, it had a lot of expectations. It is the successor to the Note 7 which had battery issues and in some scenarios, infamously exploded! The Note 8 addresses those issues and also added several new features like curved glass and S-Pen enhancements.It was also no longer possible to insert the S-Pen upside down and damage the internals.
