I have read good things from different persons about the WACOM ET-S200EBEGSTD s-pen also called full size s-pen with eraser and i am considering getting one soon and i have a question to all the people here that bought it and tried it for a significant time :
Does it have more accuracy than the included one ?
I use the tablet for taking notes in university all the time and the slate s-pen is pretty comfortable but the handwriting is not very accurate when writing with very small pen sizes (the most lower size on s-note for example) and i don't know if it is a pen accuracy issue or a software/built in digitizer one
Can anyone try his full size pen with the original one with a very low pen size on s-note and tell if there is any difference ? Does the 8PI (per inch maybe ) on the one with eraser vs 6PI on the original one stand for something notable ?
Thank you.
i havent noticed any difference in accuracy between the two, i just find the thicker pen to be more comfortable to use.
I noticed a large improvement in handwriting recognition accuracy when i upgraded to the JB ROM though, if you havent done that already.
Thank you poid for your reply. I am not interested at all in handwriting recognition i just want to write using the pen and to have my handwriting close to what i get using a real pen and paper and for that reason i am interested in a pen with more accuracy witch i suspect that the full size pen with eraser can provide.
seem the 2013 prefer our fingers. sliding is better than the previous model.
what s your point of view?
didn't have the previous nexus, so can't say much. but compared to my desire, a hell-uva improvement in touchscreen, the sensitivity, and multi-touch is a phenomenon I was completely unaware on my ol' Desire.
I definitely notice a stronger preference on the new Nexus's part for fingers over any type of stylus than even my SG3 showed. I prefer to use my fingers, except for when I want to draw or hand write notes. Papyrus, for example, works disastrously poorly on this device with any stylus, and it's not so easy to write letters with your fingers.
I'm hoping someone will invent a stylus that works on this screen for drawing and within purposes, but am pleased with the smooth touchscreen experience on the device for all other purposes.

which one would I buy?
I haven't seen a tab s in person yet but if it's available now here I would definitely choose it if the screen is as good as they say
Do you need the s-pen?
I have both and I'm feeling the Tab S more due to the screen. You won't go wrong if you choose the Note, its a great tablet, the main attraction is the pen which I hardly used. The Pro tablets weren't available at the time of purchase. After a few more days ill make my decision, but I'll probably keep the tab s.

I had the same question before. The only advantage the Note has is the Pen.
The Tab s has better screen, better battery life and it is a brand new device therefore more likely would receive updates. The Note is more then 6 mths old. The HW specs are nearly the same as the Tab S but for the same price. For me the Tab S won and I love it.
Wish Samsung put it the pen in Tab S. I'll think I'll just wait for the next Samsung Note.
I went through this dilemma and ended up with the note. It's a tough call. I love oled but also had the older note and did use the spen for meeting notes. It's really oled vs digitizer.... nothing much else in it though the UK note is annoyingly still on 4.3. The note screen is lcd but very clear.
One consideration on screens. For movies etc and anytime the screen is darkish the oled will use far less power. All whites ie some Web browsing is worst case for oled and will such juice worse .
They're both superb tablets.
Which would you buy, a second hand 10.1 for $300 AUD or a brand new 10.5 for $580? Both 16GB wifi only model.
I sold my note for the tab s 8.4 and never looked back. Owning the note always felt like it was an incomplete job and unfortunately Samsung has a bad habit of not updating the software of older models even if their hardware can run it properly.
This is the best Android tablet I've ever of we'd and there's absolutely no reason for you not to like it
I have both (actually just sold my Note 10.1 2014). Here's is how I'd compare the two:
Advantages of Tab S:
- Tab S has better screen (colors in photos are more realistic on Tab S)
- Tab S has some better/updated apps (e.g., sidesync lets me make/take calls from my Galaxy S5)
- Tab S has better accessories available (covers, keyboards)
- Tab S has side power plug (precludes need for stand and angled power cord when used with book cover)
- Tab S is thinner/lighter (but the Tab S' smaller bezels make it a bit harder to hold...minimizing this advantage a tad)
Disadvantages of Tab S
- Note 2014 has S-Pen/Wacom, but this disadvantage is mitigated a bit by the fact that the Tab S has a sensitive screen works with fine tip (3mm) capacitive pens (e.g., iCooly). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009XGMO1A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- Gold trim on Tab S is gaudy to me
- Note has S-Pen related apps/functions (e.g., action memo, pen window). But, I never found much use for those though.
Performance-wise, the two are about the same. By my standards, both are very fast. The Tab S is just a tad smoother. I don't notice any of the browsing lag some others have complained about.
...and when I found out that some of those s-pen related apps e.g S -Note, were available for download onto the tab s, I was you even more convinced that I had made right decision to get rid of my Note 10.1

No Wacom, what is the point having S-pen app?
You can use a stylus with the Tab S. You just need to provide some sort of Palm rejection when writing. A simple cleaning cloth will do. Not as good as a Wacom Stylus but for simple note taking workable.
What we really need is a good aftermarket Bluetooth stylus but so far the available models work with Apple (grrrr) only.
Bluetooth still will not be as good as Wacom and kills battery.
Just going to wait for Note 10.1 2015 model with AMOLED and WACOM.

You can drive a Camry off-road, it doesn't mean you'd want to. Using a stylus on a standard conductive display, even an iPad's, is painful. It's not the lack of palm rejection, it's the lack of detail, sensitivity, and precision. I'm not selling people on Note's per se, but unless you're making short, and I mean short, hand written notes and lists trying to use a conductive display in the same way as a Note will be pure frustration.
Now let’s check out the Note 10.1’s trump card: its S Pen. The S Pen is, when you get right down to it, a Wacom stylus and digitizer. Considering Wacom make the best graphics tablets in the world bar none (like the*Intuos 5, for one) that’s a very good thing.
Samsung is the first manufacturer to integrate this tech into an Android tablet – both the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet and HTC Flyer used N-Trig pens that were lumpy, required batteries, didn’t offer as many pressure levels and weren’t nearly as responsive, nor did they give you a choice of nibs.
Now for those who might say: “but the iPad has plenty of styli available for it, what makes this special?”, here’s the deal. With one exception, all the styli you can get for the iPad and every other capacitive tablet are only a minor improvement over using your finger. There’s only one capacitive stylus that gives a thin point, and it doesn’t offer pressure sensitivity or palm rejection.
With the S Pen - and other Wacom digitizers as found on the likes of the Samsung Series 7 Slate – you get 1,024 levels of pressure, which lets you draw weighted lines as you would with a real pencil. You get palm/finger rejection, which means you’ll rarely draw an accidental line with your hand. Basically, it’s akin to upgrading from using a chalk to an art pencil.

@ BarryH, You can pick up more chicks with a Porsche but a 72 Pinto beats walking to work.
Wasn't trying to answer "should you" but more "could you". But seriously, if you want a tablet for notetaking, I would go with a Windows variety due to the OneNote full handwriting support. Sharp was supposed to release a 10.1 Windows tablet with the same resolution as the Tab S (not amoled) but appears to have been vaporware.
Sadly now that I have owned an amoled tablet I am spoiled forever. My Tab S is purely an entertainment toy. I use my Acer R7 for any handwriting (although that is far more rare than I imagined it would be - typing is just better).
Do you think if your Tab S was Wacom, would it be good enough to replace your Acer?
I have an ageing Thinkpad X200 Tablet, but I still can not find any good candidate to replace it. The only laptop I found good enough to replace the X200T is Fujitsu tablets, but they are so expensive.
WHat would you do?
I currently own a Note 10.1 (2014), and the screen has been cracked for about 6 months. Now the screen is not responding to a finger touch (although the stylus still works). I am told that there is a dual digitizer in the device, and the one which responds to the finger is dead.
Although the device is still technically under warantee, Samsung will reject the work because the screen is cracked.
SO... and the reason I am posting here specifically
Do I pay $280 to get my Note 10.1 repaired, or do I go buy an S 10.5?
I do like the stylus for some features, but have found a BT keyboard to be a faster interface for notes
Thoughts?
GO!
I personally think that unless you find the stylus useful, the Tab S has the better screen by far. If the screen of the note doesn't bother you, though, it may very well be worth simply getting the repair instead of shelling out more for a new tablet.
Not that I ever avoid getting new toys.

Hi everyone. I have a problem with my tab s4 touch sensitivity. When playng pubg and when i try to aim without scope the display is too sensitive, when aming the pointer moves almost half a centimetre even with the slight movement of the finger, it jumps all the time and aming without a scope is almost impossible, is there any way to reduce the screen sensitivity? Thanks
Hi all, is there any alternative stylus pen that same features but cheaper but yet still got quality, bcoz the original mi pen too xpensive thanks

Works PRO Stylus for Xiaomi pad 5 High Accuracy Sensitive in Compact Form for Touch Screens [3 Pack-Black] on Amazon for $12.99I haven't used it but have placed an order. Lets see how it works
No alternative. They are all crap and will 100% end up in the trash... No integration with the software at all.

Waiting for your Feedback
That looks like a capacitive pen! .. then of course it's 'compatible' with Xiaomi Pad 5 or anything else! I bought a cheap capacitive pen for my Pad 5 Pro with a GSI, but it's not usable at all. I can't write without palm rejection function.
My understanding is Xiaomi uses their own digital pen technology and there is no compatible one out there. So if you want to use a GSI, you are stuck!
There are palm rejection gloves out there, not sure if they'll work as intended though.
Yeah I know about gloves... but I never liked capacitive pens. My hand (paw) is so dumb and useless! But I'm sure lots of people have a better control in their hand.
