In 2011, the GALAXY Note was the first smartphone to incorporate Wacom’s feel™ technologies. This was followed, in 2012, by the GALAXY Note 10.1, the GALAXY Note II, the ATIV Tab 7 and Tab 5. In 2013, more products with feel™ were launched by Samsung such as the GALAXY Note 8.0, the ATIV Tab 3 as well as the GALAXY Note 3 and 10.1 (2014 version). The latest addition to the roster -- “GALAXY NotePRO” -- is the 10th product to utilize Wacom’s feel™.
GALAXY NotePRO’s “Action Memo” feature allows users to handwrite a note with the S Pen, convert handwritten information into formatted content or automatically execute a function. “Screen Write” is a quick way to grab a screenshot from the device and make some annotations on it with the S Pen, which can be saved as a jpg image or shared via e-mail. Also, “Pen Window” allows users to use the S Pen for opening a small application window for multitasking. Simply draw a window of any size, anywhere on the screen, and users can easily and quickly open another window for applications without pausing current activity on the screen.
To make these features possible and create a natural, intuitive, user experience, Wacom® feel IT technologies integrates a high performance digital pen and a single chip controller into the GALAXY NotePRO.
