Samsung Galaxy Note7's S Pen app coming to older devices
Samsung revamped its S Pen suite for the
Galaxy Note7 - all the apps were consolidated into one (Samsung Notes) and the
drawing experience was overhauled.
The good news is that the company won't make
you upgrade your older Note just to get the new software - it will soon release
the app for "other Note devices in the near future."
There's no indication of how far back through
Galaxy Note generations (phones and tablets) you can go with the new app. After
installing it, you'll be able to import your old S Note and Memo content
through your Samsung account or Smart Switch.
It's a sweet app, though. Advanced text
recognition lets you make To Do lists with numbers, checkboxes and different
colors for items. With the new oil paintbrush, you can mix multiple colors like
with the real thing. The calligraphy pen carefully tracks the pressure you
apply as you write - the Note7 can track about 4,000 levels of pressure, older
Notes are less sensitive.
