For whatever reason it only works on the S3 and somewhat on the Note as I've seen in some videos. Get a better stylus, it sucks anyways.
I was planning on buying too... you cannot expect it to be like galaxy note quality. And I got myself a elago stylus.

I bought a three pack for like a $1.50 on Amazon for my Dad's ipad and it works great on the S3.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
Its something to do with the higher than usual refresh rate of the S3 screen. I wish it worked on my Xoom.

Is the refresh rate adjustable? I liked it because of it's small tip

Hi, not sure if this question has been asked before, but I saw the stylus for the Galaxy Note and wondered if there were stylus out there with a fine tip like that?
I have a boxwave one which has the common roundish black tips

Note can use a fine tipped stylus becoz the screen is not pure capacitive. It has wacom technology incorporated. Most of the phones do not support fine tipped styluses.

I definitely want the note now!!!

Does the Note's S Pen work with the Galaxy S3?
Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note

Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

That same pen is cheaper on eBay though.

There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines

The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3

Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....
I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.
C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.
good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.
Hey all I'm looking at replacing my s3 and N7 with a Note 2. I don't have a problem with the size for a phone but is it big enough to replace a N7? I know this is really opinion based so that's all I'm looking for. I pretty much just use my N7 for watching YouTube and I don't want to watch it and feel like I have to strain if that male sense. Any opinions welcome thanks!

Hi. I think the best way to answer your question is that you have to try it out for yourself. Go to a shop and try an actual note 2 out. Screen size and eye strain are relative factors depending on the person and I consider it as a personal preference. Though I think the note 2 screen is big enough not to cause eye strain.

I have both and I would say the You Tube and Netflix experience is better on the Nexus 7. Netflix is great on the Nexus 7 IMHO.
You could manage on the Note 2, but it is just not quite big enough for me.
After I have purchased my original note 1 about a year ago, I have never bothered with any 7 inch tabs

I'm currently using a Fire HD and Note 2. Perfect combo. HD replaced my N7.

I am actually doing the same thing OP. As soon as my Note 2 arrives I will be selling my S3 and N7.
I rather carry one device to do all that I need done on a mobile device.

OG Note made me sell the ipad 2 at the time. And I jumped on Note 2 on its release day. No need for tablet for me anymore.
Maybe swap my ageing MBA for a Surface later on if that's convincing enough though.
My 2 rupies =)

Personally I don't think its big enough to replace the N7, it certainly won't be replacing mine.
Hey gang, this may be a dumb question but I was wondering if I buy a stylus pen would it work for the GS3? the thing is that I wanted to get the GN2 but not enough money. I draw a lot and saw the capabilities of having this feature on the GN2 so I was wondering if I get a pen would it work for the GS3.
Have you googled it? I'm sure if it is capable it will be searchable.

Yes it will work.

Any stylus pen will work. You can buy them for about a couple of bucks from amazon.
Better yet Samsung make special pen just for galaxy s3 called "C pen". It has smaller tip like S-pen for G-note. It's $30 but if you register with Samsung, they will send you 50% off coupon.. But you can get from amazon too for $15.. Here is the search result link. Also Samsung link...

For fine detail drawing it's no good. Good for stick figure like drawing only I'm afraid.

+1. Its not ideal unless the app you are using support fine line pen width like in sketch app.. But I still use stylus to keep my screen clean because I work with oil..

Thanks everybody. I even tried to take my GS3 back after a month to trade with the GN2 but no can do. I will try out the C-Pen and hopefully that'll work.
Its just that I draw a lot and especially in my anatomy class. I use those pictures to study while I'm at work. I wish I got the GN2. I got the GS3 because it was on sale, dang it. But I still love my GS3. Best phone for me coming off the Thunderbolt.
You should read some of the reviews on YouTube and Amazon before you plunk money into it. The general consensus is that it isn't very good especially for the price paid.

Even my Thinkpad X200 Tablet stylus works on the Note, and it's even better because the butt end works like a eraser. I don't when Samsung did not include eraser function into their stylus, obviously the function is already built into note and note 2 since both uses Wacom technology.
awesome I just ordered one off Amazon for 16 bucks
