There's only one factor that disappoints concerning the Staedtler S Pen: It is lacking the common S Pen's button. With out it, there is no means to make use of the helpful "Display-off memo" function on the Galaxy Tab S3 that allows you to write on the display while not having to show your complete pill on.

Nonetheless, Samsung deserves props for the candy collaboration. Name me no matter you need for geeking out over a stylus that appears like a Staedtler pencil as a result of I do not care — it is superior. 

Neither Samsung nor Staedtler are speaking pricing or launch but, however fingers crossed it will not value $99 just like the Apple Pencil.
