S Pen

The S Pen seems like it needs new features, its been a while since somethings come out for it.

Maybe in future have 1 or 2 extra buttons on it with an IR blaster in the pen? Can be used as a remote or something similar for smartthings?

Maybe next Samsung device with S Pen can have a motion sensor on it that'll work with Samsung health?

I know these aren't really good ideas but I feel like maybe it needs a little bit of a kick

The S Pen already has plenty of features it works with.
Main problem will be size.
To have an ir blaster or motion sensor etc
You'd have to increase the size of the S Pen
For that you need to make space in the phone, reducing space available for components and battery
I think it's great the way it is now
A lot of people will probably never use all the features and some not use the S Pen at all

It is great, and doesn't need to be those ideas specifically, but maybe just needs something new added to it. I use it quite often, would like to see 1 or 2 new features on it

Hi @Jab7865 The S pen already has a number of features and as @Glenntech has indicated the ones you have suggested are not that practical and in my view would not really come out favourably in a cost benefit analysis. However we do like to have an exchange of ideas on the community. I'm taking it you still have the Note 20, anyway I am going to share a few articles.
