Can you elaborate on the latency while writing with the stylus? I've tried all generations of the Note up to 3 and I've found the very-small-but-still-perceptible lag to be incredibly off putting. I also assume they have still not been able to imbue the screen with any kind of friction feedback. For these two reasons I find paper a superior input technology.
- bane 12y agoThere is still a small lag with the S-Pen, I have no idea what it is, feels like ~30ms. But if you try to write with your finger or one of those iPad stylii (with the rubber tip) there's definitely more lag as compared to the S-Pen which I think is more on the order of ~70-90ms. I'd say it's comparable to a Watcom device in terms of latency. It's not paper, but it's near enough that you can get used to it much more quickly than trying to deal with the longer latency of the finger input. And yes, there's no friction feedback, so it feels like you're writing on slippery oil. It's off putting at first, but you also get used to it. Is a moleskine and decent pen a better writing experience? Yeah sure. Have I stopped carrying one around with me in addition to my phone? Absolutely.
- fpgeek 12y agoI agree. The S-Pen isn't quite paper, but after the original Note Samsung got it close enough. On that front, I'm just waiting for Samsung to finish polishing the Note Pro so I can finally get the magic electronic notebook I started dreaming about in the previous millennium.
