Hello,
I am looking for a tablet for note taking. It needs to be around 8" in size, as my Tab S7 is too large for this task. The only 8" I see in Samsung's lineup is the Tab A9. I know that it does not come with its own stylus, but can it be used with a third-party one, like the one from the S7 or the Kindle Scribe's?

Here is what I have tested.
The Tab S7 stylus does not work.
The Kindle Scribe stylus does not work.
The one that does work is a huge one I have bought a few years ago, that replaces a finger and is almost as thick as one. It is is too thick for writing.
The tablet is going back, it's a shame that Samsung does not have a proper 8" tablet.

The tab A with S-Pen (SM-P205) is a Samsung 8-inch tablet with S-Pen included, it's a few years old now (2019) but I have one and it's still suitable for light use and also functions as a cellphone (makes calls 4g LTE)

Or look at the more expensive ruggedized Samsung Active3 or Active5 tabs (8 inch) or Active4 (10 inch) that come with a stylus. So Samsung, has proper 8 inch tablets with S-Pen compatibility.
