The S-Pen is getting a Bluetooth power-up

The filing just confirms that the new S-Pen will have Bluetooth functionality in some way, but people have speculated on Twitter that Samsung will be using it as a multi-purpose Bluetooth button. If that’s the case, the button could let users do things like start and stop timers, control music, take photos, or even possibly answer or hang up on calls. It’s also easy to imagine Samsung giving the Bluetooth-equipped stylus other features, like a Tile-esque location option for tracking the pen in case you lose it (or using the pen to find your phone by triggering an alert or a noise.)

We’ll presumably find out the extent of the S-Pen’s new abilities come August, when Samsung formally announces the Note 9. In the meantime, it’s exciting to see that Samsung is continuing to explore all the possibilities when it comes to making its accessories more useful.
