By far my most favorite use is as a notepad that I always have with me. I use a custom keyboard to make typing faster and more accurate.

Anything y’all like to do with your phones that you feel like most people miss out on?

    I use a Galaxy Ultra. currently an S22u previously a Note 9.

    I use the stylus everyday. I tired a phone.sans atykus (Pixel Pro) for a month and got rid of it. The sylus is so handy

    I have gone ----> Note 8, Note 9, S22u.

    I draw work sketches all the time eg just this morning my parter sent me a photo of her mother’s toilet and asked me how to fix it. I typed a long set of instructions, she said huh… And can you draw me a sketch, stylus out and I did and she said now she understands and fixed it herself.

    Someone givea me some info, stylus out, tap the screen and start writing eg phone number, address etc. No unlocking necessary. I have used the stylus as a camera remote on the phone but not often.

    The styus makes the phone so useful it still beguiles me how peoplendo without. I use a phone and desktop.

      This is definitely a huge one in my experience as well. Speech isn’t great at communicating visual detail. It’s amazing how the moment you start drawing you can just see it click in the other person’s mind.

      I’ve never had a phone with a stylus before, but you make a good case for it!

      I loved having a Note 2 ages ago. But since then, the styluses that are paired with phones seem so awfully plastic and cheap. I use a pretty standard phone nowadays, but I’m keeping my eyes open for a phone with a good high quality stylus that has its resting place in a niche in the phone itself. Any suggestions?

        I previously had an LG Stylo and now I have a Motorola G stylus. I love both of them. The stylus is kind of thin but it’s stored in the phone. I use the notepad pretty frequently so having a phone with a stylus is a must have for me.
