If you're talking about the button, to push to launch camera and take photos and such, then no. The pen sends a trigger to the phone via bluetooth and the firmware on the phone then translate them to certain functions. It won't work out of the box, but it might be possible to port the features through custom ROMS. I'm not 100% on that, though.
With a custom ROM maybe, but it won't be able to charge. It should work as a normal Spen though, so if you dig the bright yellow (why?) you can use it for aesthetic reasons. No bluetooth functions on stock though, and no charging.
The BT S Pen is pretty useless to me. I would never pull my S Pen and take a shot I can just use bixby voice for camera.
Pretty curious too id love to get my hands on that yellow spen and put it in my note 8 xd because i think we would be able to port most of the features of the note 9 with a custom rom im only wondering could we be able to use the new spen ?
This is a pretty dumb question lmao... you think Samsung would allow Note 8 users to buy the S pen separately and have it work on the note 8? That defeats the whole purpose of the hardware changes in the note 9.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Note9 SPen is a tiny, tiny bit bigger than the Note8's, so it might not fit in the SPen dock. Also, as niallasher said, it won't be able to charge on your Note8, so it would be pretty pointless, anyway. You'd need a Note9 to charge it, in which case, you might as well get and use a Note9.
The new note 9 spen has a capacitor in it that is charged when inside the note 9 itself. I would doubt that charge port would exist in the note 8, then you would end up with just a yellow spen.

Probably not. If you want to use the Note 9's Spen features then no. It will probably work as a regular Spen
I tried in a Samsung store the Note9 s Pen and no detection on my Note8. I could try everything, trigger Air command or just use it to swipe pages, it doesn't work. I think that it can't be used on older Note devices
Yes, spen from note9 is charaged from inside a phone. But i think it is done by wirless charaging so what if you will use wirless charager to charage a phone and maybe it also work for spen itself.
?
Maybe its done by software.
I'm wondering if it uses the same technology as the one that detects the phone.
@deepseaturtle: Did you have your N8 Spen removed/taken out when trying the N9 Spen, or disable the Spen Power Saver feature?
It was out indeed because I wanted to see if it fits inside and the only option that was turned on about S Pen detection is the alarm when it's far from the phone

The store put an anti-theft system on the Pen so I wasn't able to put it fully, but it seems to fit somehow on the phone

I just tried the note 9 spen on my note 8 and it work like a regular note 8 spen. Can write, go through screens, etc. But the bluetooth functions nope it won't work. And the n9 spen is taller then the n8 spen so it's going to stick out of the note 8.

Damn ? i was thinking of buying that yellow spen and using it on note 8 i was thinking all of those Bluetooth features are software and can be ported on custom roms

Thanks !!
So I assume the S Pen was either not detected by my phone or I did this wrong.
So now we can be sure it works !
Hi guys!
I need your help because I can't decide.
At the moment I have my old OnePlus 3 and this year it's time to change.
I can get the Exynos Note 9 for 639€ and the Exynos 10+ for 800€. Should I get one of this or should I wait for the Note 10?
What would you do?
Thank you for your opinions!

If you use SPen and the functions, there is no other device out there to buy. But if you dont use specific SPen feautures, i would recommend you the S10+ because of future Major Updates. Note 9 got Pie so gar, so there will be possible just one Major Update to Android 10 in future. S10+ will get Android 11 i guess.
Anyway my Personal opinion is that the Note 9 is actual one if not THE best device from Samsung. Okay they killed some core feautures with Pie like Wifi WPS and stuff..but Overall it was an good Update i guess.
I'd get note 9 oreo, pie is way to restricted
Photo's[emoji2398] by Sully using SM-N960U or SM-870A
if you don't mind Samsungs new screen design with the cutout, I'd get the s10+. and i guess since you ask between a note and an s-series, that you don't mind about the spen too much. so get the s10+. it's faster and slicker so I've heard in previews.
i personally couldn't get around the cutout tho. and that the new fingerprint sensor under the screen seems to act slower compared to physical ones
those are the two downside I'd say
+ that face unlock is pretty much useless, since you can use a photo to unlock it. but not sure if note 9's face unlock is any better
if you're fine with what i mentioned above you should just get the s10+
Maybe wait for the note 10
if they release the Note10 e IT WILL BE PERFECT
So dear people,the N10 is there....wow!Are there any plans to convert the software,spend,Camara, roms to our beloved Note 9?Could be great.I don't flash the n9 till now,the first one ever ,but the new situation with N10 I could imagine to flash it . Any thoughts about??The N9 is a great phone,now after 5 month,zero problems with it.

Ho! I agree with you. My question is: Is possibile to use the note 10+ S Pen with air gestures on note 9?

From all the vids I watched it didn't look like a very polished feature. I don't see how moving my entire hand is better then a small movement of my finger on the screen. Then I see the 10 as a downgrade even compared to the note 8. The 10+ lost to many useful features for useless ones.
I think the only software features I would want would be the screen recorder. I already use game launcher to semi make that possible in apps.
Either way I can see a lot of software features will eventually make there way to the note9.

No its not , because the Note 10 S Pen has a build in sensor.
Personaly i think the Note 9 is a TOP Phone the way it is .
personally the whole exhibition of the phone itself talked me out of wanting it. Everything about it is gimmicky at best, not a really needed upgrade for me from my N9. not the cameras, pen, battery. nothing screams buy me. So im waiting for the N11 maybe thatll wow me, if not then the N12 maybe

I know the heart rate sensor, headphone jack, dedicated power button ( it's now power/bixby) that's it for the 10+ now the 10 has a lot more, no SD slot lower resolution screen, 256 storage ( I have the 512 note9) battery. That's off the top of my head.
I think that a N9 with a coustom ROM Will be the same as n10+

Maybe the root time has come... note 10 doesn't deserve. The upgrade from note 8 to 9 was nice, but to note 9 to 10... blah...
I really liked the new display but nothing else. I'm really disappointed with note 9 camera and the note 10 camera seems to be the same... so this time is for waiting... or maybe get the tab 6...
Let's wait for firmware updates, maybe we could get something interesting from our big brother.

Does the new Note10 allow single and double press re-mapping of the Bixby/power button, similar to how it works on the Note9?

You would have to ask someone who owns the phone. I just know what youtube reviews said. Either way it's a major negative to me.

theres an article on xda front page news abour all the missed points in the note 10 reveal. and it covers the power button remapping.
Personally if you own a Note 9 there is no reason to upgrade to any of the Note 10s. Unless your device is starting to fail.
I don't have reason to buy Note 10/+. Note 10 is step back compare to Note 9. Like someone wrote- deleted led notification (very useful), jack, heart rate sensor, iris scanner, force touch to wake up?, less battery in standard version Note 10. Next colors- no midnight blue, and only standard black, white and mirror silver isn't step forward. I want 2 level colors like for example in Note 5- titanium silver, platinum gold, sapphire black. Newer isn't always better.
I bought N9 8/512 in november 2018 and now i know that it was good decision. Now I wait for N11 or Pixel 4/5.

the color of a phone should never be a selling point. moreover if it is, it means you dont use protection(case) so even if it comes in the color you want the risk of it breaking, will effectively render it unusable in some way or form and then color is even more irrelevant.
Of course, color it's not selling point but it's hard to difficult that palette of new models are poor.
Colors are only one of disadvantages from my previous reply.
It's similar to buy a new car and his color usually is important, more or less but important.
From Note 5 and 9 I use transparent case. Every new samsung models are boring small bezels, black front and so only back is different.
For me Note 7 in blue coral was nice phone, even today.
Hi,
you all know the animation im talking about , but if ur wondering here is what i mean... If u own a Samsung Galaxy S10, 10+, 10 5G, Note 10, Note 10 5G and Note 10+ and you are using the underdisplay fingerprintsensor the moment you unlock your device a little animation pops up with some transperent cricles around the sensor. Yeah i want ot remove that. Anyboady knows how to?

For all I know, you cannot disable that animation. You can disable the animation to the home screen though. In Settings=>biometric and security=>preferences. Feels much more snappier
Hello to all, I had a doubt about the fact that, with the latest version of Air-Command ( 4.1.01) installed on the Note 9 and the pairing with the S-pen of the note 10/10+ the new gestures could work. I currently don't have a S-pen 10 or 10+ so I ask you if you can do this simple test to see if it works.:good:
Anyway the note 10s spen won't fit in the note 9s housing for his spen... so, even if it might work, won't be useful.

Yes you are certainly right, but in case you need those gestures, you can bring a S-pen with you, it should not be difficult for anyone. And this is a test only for knowledge.
