So you can buy a S Pen separately or better yet, just get a bamboo Pen which is more comfortable to use. From my understanding, the newer Galaxy Tablets will support Wacom pens which is what the S Pen actually is (Wacom technology).
And they are compatible with any device that has a capacitive touch screen.
The S Pens are interchangeableThe great news here is that yes, in fact, you can use the older stylus with your new smartphone. We have confirmed that the Note 10's stylus not only clicks into the slot on the bottom of the Note 20, but you'll have access to the same features.
can you use the s pen with the s20 and is the s pen worth it and good for drawing? It will not work. The Note series has a special sensor and hardware for the pen. There would be no point in a Note series if they let all their phones use that one little extra thing.
The stylus are not interchangeable. Specifically, the S Pen from the Note will not work on Tab A and the S Pen from the Tab A will not work on the Note.
the button opens the S-Pen menu when you have the pen out. It also switches to eraser in some apps as people have said. Possibly other functions in different apps. The top clicker makes it able to be pulled out of the phone.
No, not at all. Yes. Your tablet will only work (barely/poorly) with that cheap generic (capacitive) stylus you already have.
With the S Pen, you can quickly switch between the front- and rear-facing cameras with a gesture. Hold the side button and swipe up to change the camera.
Open Camera and take pictures: Hold down the S Pen button for about 2-3 seconds to open the Camera app on your phone. Then, press the button once quickly to take a picture! You can also press the button two times in a row to switch the Camera from Regular mode to Selfie mode.
It uses a wireless charging method while resting within the body of the device to charge. It is different than the Note 9's' wireless charging method. Thus, you cannot charge an S-Pen with the phone's wireless charger. Samsung estimates it uses 0.5mAh per full charge.

Hovering the pen at the top or bottom of the screen can also scroll the page, but that's just a bit less useful. To enable this head to Settings > Advanced features > S Pen > Air View and toggle on the switch to get going with this neat feature.
Setting up the Galaxy Note 10 as a drawing tablet for your computer
- Once you've installed VirtualTablet on your Note 10, you need to download the server app on your computer.
- After you've set up the server app on your computer, open the VirtualTablet app on your Gaalxy Note 10 and choose a connection method.
Navigate to Settings > Advanced Features > S Pen > S Pen Remote > Camera. Under App Actions, you'll see a section called Camera. This controls what action your S Pen performs when you click the Pen's button once, and when you click it twice.
The potentiometer on the LEFT in the picture above and below is the one you will be adjusting. Using a razor or small screwdriver, you can turn the potentiometer clockwise to decrease sensitivity and counter-clockwise to increase it. Test it out and see if it works to your liking, then put the button back on.
