Having a stylus on your smartphone favors the development of various activities to facilitate day-to-day life. Nowadays it is more important to get the most out of the device, adapting to new lifestyles and facilitating day-to-day tasks.
6 reasons why a smartphone with S Pen helps increase productivity:
Take Notes
Since 2011, when Samsung incorporated the S Pen into its devices, users do not require notebooks, agendas, or writing instruments at all times, since with this accessory it is possible to take notes even without unlocking the device.
If writing by hand is practical due to poor handwriting, the AI on Galaxy devices like the S23 Ultra can convert those scribbles into digital text to make the text easier to understand.
Remote Control
With Air Command features, Galaxy S23 Ultra users – with S Pen included – can easily access exclusive features such as remotely controlling the camera to capture an image, changing camera modes, zooming in or out, and browsing the gallery.
You can also control any application with gestures, such as videos or music where you can change songs, and raise and lower the volume, among others. Even control PowerPoint presentations and use it as a pointer, without the need for an additional accessory.
Smart selection
Screenshots are things of the past when certain info is needed on the screen, since with the S Pen of the Galaxy S23 Ultra you can make cuts of any object, image, text, or info visible on the screen to use, edit, or share it. Besides, this option allows also you to make GIFs with just one function.
Photo and video editing
With the pen built into the body of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it is easier and faster to perform image retouching, as it allows greater precision when selecting the fragment and transforming it. One UI 6.0’s new Image and Video editor takes the experience to a whole new level.
Bixby Vision
Sometimes you need to identify an object or more info about an element or text visible on the screen. With the Bixby Vision function that is integrated into the S Pen, it is possible to quickly translate, view similar images or receive specific information.
Increase your productivity
With multi-window mode you can simultaneously see up to 3 apps on the screen, and 5 pop-up windows. Additionally, the Samsung DeX lets you connect the mobile device to a TV or monitor and have the desktop experience as if it were a computer for greater convenience.
Samsung could pack the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 with Exynos processors. The company could launch its first affordable foldable phone next year. The device could get a different camera and processor from the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Leaker Jukanlosreve revealed that Samsung could use the Exynos 2400e in the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The former Exynos variant powers the Galaxy S24 FE, while the Exynos 2500 is an upcoming product.
Samsung previously intended to use Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. However, the chip has a major performance difference from its Snapdragon counterpart. This led the company to solely rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 series.
Exynos 2500 is being manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process node. The yield rate is quite low (around 20%), which is far from the production threshold. However, Samsung chose the path to produce the chip at such a low yield rate.
Exynos 2400 has proven to be a decent chip with no frustrating flaws. The Exynos 2400e could be used in the Z Flip FE. The “e” model could be made using IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) tech, which is cheaper than the standard method.
Recently, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip. It was initially intended to be used in the S25 and S25 Plus, but issues pushed it towards the second-half debut in the Z Flip 7.
New York became the first US state to bring retail consumer rebates for appliances under the Inflation Reduction Act. Applauding the move, Samsung launched a huge energy-saving opportunity for the residents of New York.
Samsung started offering up-front discounts to consumers statewide through New York’s IRA HEAR program. Consumers can now access IRA’s Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program.
IRA HEAR rebate program advantages
- Save up to $840 on Samsung’s innovative ENERGY STAR products, including laundry appliances like heat pump dryers and all-in-one combo washers + heat pump dryers.

Samsung said this is just the beginning of its rebates journey in New York. The company looks forward to working with partners to expand these retail rebates to more products and in more states across the United States.
Pay attention, the IRA provides rebates and tax credits to households across America. New York is leading the way in providing direct retail point-of-sale appliance rebates, supporting an affordable clean energy transition.
Inflation Reduction Act
Signed in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act is the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history.
It provides home appliance rebates for discounts on electric energy-efficient appliances like Induction cooktops, ranges, and heat pump laundry appliances.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra has undergone one of the most extreme military tests. The company has recently published a Watch Ultra test video, featuring Phillip Chu Joy.
Phillip participated in the Peruvian Navy’s Special Operations Course to showcase the watch’s capabilities. It is renowned as one of the world’s most challenging military training programs.
“The Galaxy Watch Ultra pushes technology to its limits, handling extreme conditions with ease,” Chu Joy remarked. “It’s undoubtedly designed for those seeking exceptional performance.”
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra proves its durability and functionality in water, mud, and sand — excelling even under the grueling conditions of Peru’s most extreme military training.
Galaxy Watch Ultra
The Watch Ultra boasts a Grade 4 titanium frame. It also features a shockproof cushioned design that meets MIL-STD-810H2 military standards and water resistance of up to 10ATM.
The product is capable of operating within a broad temperature range of -20°C to 55°C4 and performing at altitudes of up to 9,000 meters above sea level.
These capabilities make it ideal for tracking advanced physical activities like ocean swimming and cycling in extreme conditions; take the Perivian military training as a recent proven example.
Samsung’s Watch Ultra is the ultimate companion for sports enthusiasts and extreme adventurers. It’s crafted to endure the toughest conditions with its pro-grade features and premium materials.
Samsung’s Mauricio Revollar stated:
“We wanted the public to experience the Galaxy Watch Ultra like never before in the Peruvian market by creating the most extreme product review ever undertaken here.”
“This was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Peruvian Navy, which allowed us to highlight and celebrate the commitment of the students in one of the world’s most demanding military training programs.”
