I was wondering if the New Note 9 S Pen will work and fit with the Note 8. I have a Note 8 and love it. From what I have read of the Note 9 specs, there is little need for me to upgrade.
Much larger battery
Slightly larger screen but same resolution
Better camera but its only better because of the updated software
More drive space
And an S Pen that (shoots freakin laser beams) has Bluetooth support
Those are great upgrades, but I do not feel like spending close to $1000 two years in a row. I kept the Note 7 S Pens when I returned the explosive phones multiple times in case I wanted backups. They work fine with the Note 8 even though their spec were supposed to be slightly upgraded. I would love it if I could get my hands on an Note 9 S Pen and be able to use it with my Note 8 without having to buy a whole new phone. I especially love the feature of taking a picture with the S Pen.
Does anybody have any thoughts or insight on this?
Looking at the Note 9 S-Pen I doubt all the functionalities will work with the N8, like the S-Pen charging or even working as a Bluetooth device as with the N9. It may not even fit.

it need be charged. i guess it cant be full working on note 8. when it was low/out of battery, it would become note 8 spen?
Find a way to charge the pen and I don't see why we can't use it with a note 8

Yeah another poster said the new pen is longer than the one on the Note 8 so it may not fit or might stick out.
It would probably work as a normal S-Pen. But without the bluetooth functions.
I have tested on both the Note 8 and Note 9. They won't work with each other. The Note 9's S Pen can't do anything on the Note 8' screen, even it's just a little touch or swipe.
Thanks for the feedback. That is a little disappointing but I guess I can wait. Samsung upgrades their phones just a little bit every year with just one great new feature to get me to consider the upgrade. Smart business plan. I wonder is a third party S Pen with Bluetooth will be developed to work with Note 8. That would be rad.

That's not right, I tried it at a Samsung store a couple days ago and it worked just fine as a plain EMR pen. I couldn't test fit since the pen was in a holder though.
Charging the pen capacitor likely won't work on a note 8, but it'll still work as a normal wacom pen.
The note 9 pen is bigger. It doesn't fit in the note 8
This is a really dumb question. You think samsung would allow note 8 users to use the note 9 pen... theres a whole reason why they're pushing the note 9. It's not even the same internals anymore.

Lol in terms of being able to use it as a stylus I'm sure it works fine. The whole point of that note 9 pen is for the functions... if you can't charge the pen or fit it back into the phone wouldn't you say its supposed to be meant for the Note 9. It's a dumb question ...

There's actually a battery saving option on the Note phones that lets you turn off the S-Pen touch detection while the stylus is inside the phone. I noticed this as well at a store where the Note 8 pen didnt work on my Note 4 until I took out the pen from my Note 4. The option also exists on the Note 8. When you turn the option it off you can use your extra S-Pen's while the original is still inside the phone (I believe it's turned off by default actually, not sure though)

That is a really dumb answer. I could say for example newer MS surface pens are working on older devices; so why not asking if the newer note pen works on older devices. But that is not my point. The point is rather that your need to appear smart by degrading others.

Never tried to "appear" to look smart. Just stating something that's obvious. I don't see why the pen wouldn't work in terms of navigating through the phone with the actual touch of the stylus. The functionalities obvs wouldnt work. Anyways I'm moving on. Peace.

Point taken. For some this is a learned behavior. Still, it is emotional abuse. I would watch that kind of language. This is a great community. It would be even sad to lose someone to emotional abuse or harassment. Make no mistake. It will not be tolerated. Take the high road. Be the better person. Peace.

As all the Samsung enthusiasts would know by now that, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is Officially out. Let us discuss here, would you buy Note 8; if so, what is the most compelling reason for you to buy it.
Practically, I feel Note 8 is just a blown out version of S8+ with Stylus and Dual Camera. But it is just my thought. Let us find what other like you think about the product?
Consider the 4th Option 6.3'' Quad HD+ Display as 6 GB RAM. Sorry for the Typo
NOTE:
Sure there many other features (some listed below) that exists too, but these features do exist in S8+. My intention is just to know, what makes you to choose Note 8 instead of S8+ (that have all the features that are listed below)
Snapdragon 835 chip/Exynos 8895 10 nm FinFET Processor
IP 68 Water & Dust Resistant
Infinity Display
Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Bixby Voice Assistant
Finger Print, Iris, Face Recognition Security Features
Samsung Pay (NFC & MST Payment)
Wireless Charging
USB Type C
3.5mm headphone Jack
Bluetooth 5.0
Micro SD Card Support
Dual SIM Options
LTE Cat. 16
Wi-Fi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
nothing COMPELLING about any phone...hear that apple lemmings???
and yea i think a just a bit wider than 8+ with a pen
I would imagine, I don't know, that the S-pen would be the major selling point of the Note 8? I wouldn't change from my SGS8+ just for the extra camera, no way, nor the extra 2GB. Nope, its the S-pen that has always made the note....'The note'. Though I have just pre-ordered the Note 8 I am a tad disappointed Samsung didn't at the very least add stereo to the Mobile. The differences between the S8+ and the Note 8 are, apart from the S-pen, minimal to say the least.
Having written that I must consider those changing up from other than the SGS8+ such as the Note 4 or 5 etc.

Without the Wacom pen, the Galaxy Note is just an unremarkable big phone. Nobody else dares to compete with Samsung in that regard, and it pisses me off when they could easily do so. LG V10 or V20 with an active pen? Goodbye, Samsung!
But as it stands, I have another big reason for wanting one: my prized Note 4 isn't supposed to work outside of Sprint, but does so anyway thanks to some GalaxyTools/idoneapps unlock trickery. It just works suboptimally on T-Mobile now, lack of LTE bands and dismal call quality/not even 3G reception as of late.
The Note 8 won't have that issue due to having a unified North American variant... with an irritating locked bootloader, but I'm sure someone will find a way around that.
100 pages of notes with the screen off. will save a lot of battery.
Because it's a Note and not a Galaxy S device. ?

The pen ofcourse because it makes the phone unique from any s series that came before. It gives you about 30 more features in your phone. Writing notes on always on display and pinning it is quite intersting.

I agree and can't understand why so many of our respected peers voted for the camera? The whole idea of the 'Note' is the S-pen, The note series is really the S series plus a pen........The camera set up should have come with the SGS8 and 8+ but oddly didn't?
If I didn't place the S-pen at the top of my list I would keep my SGS8+ and not change until the SGS9+ comes out next year.

I believe that the camera really is the trump card for the Note...and really the only reason I am ordering it. Samsung seems to have taken a step backwards on the innovation regarding this device. Essentially it is a N7 with dual cameras... nothing more

No confrontation on my part. Just trying to understand your logic. So you go buy a leather brief case to store your documents in to travel but then place said documents in a cloth back pack?
The 'Note' is all about the S-pen that's why its called the Note series and not the S series that in reality does most of what the Note does but without the productivity of the Notes S-pen.
On this one occasion the Note differs in that it introduces dual cameras but in the future all the S series will have dual cameras starting with the S9.
If you don't need the leather brief case, the S-pen, then why not purchase the S series. :good:
You are far from unique in purchasing a Note and not using the S-pen. I had exactly the same debates on the Note 7 forum. If one doesn't need the pen, buy the less expensive S7.
Ryland
I hear people complaining about how it's no different from a Note 7 or that Samsung didn't innovate. What are people expecting? for it to make you dinner? Aside from an on-screen fingerprint reader, I don't see much that could make it a game-changer.

I hear ya,however,it hasn't been the Swiss Army knife it once was.
Performance improvement,HellYeah,no doubt about it,every year it gets a bit better.
However,on my wish list & for some of us here,would be a huge welcome,whether it be for work or play:
A ruggedized version al la the Galaxy S Active.
Throw a couple front-firing speakers on it as well & I can for once & for all,forgive Samsung for taking our I-R Blaster & removable battery away......
S pen, just in general. Not because of the "advanced features". I always have my phone with me, and not always something to write with, this remedies that problem. Can use it for quick diagrams or directions and random notes. Since I broke my note 4 a year and a half ago I have missed that functionality. Had the Note 7 and you know the story there. Have had htc 10, lg v10 and currently still using the z force. With all these phones I have missed the funcrionality of the pen. It is not often needed, but when it is, nothing beats having it.
I will say I used the pen more than I thought I would on my note 7. I will agree for the price we pay for the note 8. Dual from speakers would be nice and not that cheap ass mono speaker that Samsung seems to love.
I don't know how the s8 preformance over the note 8 is but I do know my note 7 was smoother and faster than my S7 and S7 edge that I had. I like the note for its size and hope this one isn't long and narrow like the S7 edge was. I could do without the edge screen. Just allows a greater chance for the screen to crack like happened to my S6 edge +. Over all I hope I'll be happy with the note 8. Really I guess we buy it because it's the note and no other manufacturer makes anything like it.

Hi all,
I hope I am posting in the correct section.
Yesterday I gave a try on a new Live Demo Unit of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 S-Pen. The new S-Pen has thinner point and gives better precision when writing.
Tried to use Note 8 S-Pen on my Note 5 device, it also works fine on my Note 5.
You can see the difference of the precision between the S-Pen of Note 8 (below) and my Note 5 (above) on my phone in the attached image. Note 8 pen is precise and thin, my Note 5 pen is thick and leaky.
At this point in time, the price of Note 8 in Europe is still out of my common sense of smartphone price. So I might wait for the price to be reduced even if it doesn't come with the Dex Dock. Meanwhile its new S-Pen which also works fine on my Note 5 makes me crave for it.
I have not got chance to try to change the tip of my S-Pen with Note 8 tip. So, my question is, do you know if I can somehow increase the precision of my Note 5 or earlier Samsung Notes S-Pen by only changing the tip, or I need to buy Note 8 S-Pen as well?
I think the new pen is just a better pen. I know the note 7's pen was noticeably better than the note 5's pen that I had as a loaner device briefly. In fact, the note 5's worse pen was one of the reasons that when I had to give up my note 7 I didn't stick with a note device. The note 5 was just a huge step backwards. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll be a simple tip change, but you'd have to buy the whole pen, and then it wouldn't fit inside your phone anymore.

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

So I assume the S Pen was either not detected by my phone or I did this wrong.

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 .

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 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.

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.
So my note 9 pen damaged I don't want to spend a huge amount of money on a new one, I found that the the note 8 pen is pretty cheap I was wondering whether it will fit in the silo. also other than Bluetooth connectivity are there any difference between the two?
Note 9 pen is slightly larger than the Note 8 one - size wise yes, it will fit, but it will likely be loose and fall out unless held in by something.
I know for a fact that the Note 9's S-Pen fits in the Note 8. So the Note 8's S-Pen should fit in the Note 9 without any issues. As you have stated the only differences between the two S-Pen's is that the Note 9 has Bluetooth features. Otherwise they are both function the exact same
I have the spare note 8 S pen and it won't work with my note 9. Not sure if it's a bluetooth thing picking up the 9 pen but either way my little test didn't work. Could be doing something wrong but might be worth testing out before spending money and it not work.

Check your S-pen settings. There is one that allows multiple pens to work. I believe it is off by default...
Have the Notes 8, 9 & 10+, S-pen from each works on all...
older model spen will not work on newer models. I have tried that. Like my note 3 note 4 pen did not work on note 9. but note 9 pen worked on note 3 and note 4. same is the case with note 8. You can use note 9 pen on note 8 but not opposite. sorry for my bad english. hope it will help.

Bulldust... As I said above, Note 8 S-pen works on Note 9 and 10+... And vice versa...
I also have the ORIGINAL NOTE from waaaay back and that S-pen ALSO works on ALL the models listed...
The base tech HAS NOT CHANGED...
Check you settings for the S-pen as there is a setting to use multiple S-pens that must be turned on otherwise, if an S-pen is docked and you try to use another S-pen, the touches won't register...
The ONLY thing that won't work is, of course, the bluetooth stuff as the older models didn't have this...
Long story short, S-pen from any Note series phone WILL work on any other Note AS LONG AS THAT PESKY SETTING IS CHANGED...
Anyone who says different is wrong unless talking about the bluetooth part. That is hardware and model specific...
It means they haven't looked at the S-pen settings and changed it.

I did look and didn't like the battery warning. I also left the 9 pen in the other room. Could be a counterfeit note8 pen. Like I said spare.
Thanks for the info. It's good to know. Will see what happens when I change the settings and test that pen. Guessing I bought it off Amazon lol.

Shouldn't matter as long as it has the wacom tech like an original S-pen... I have a heap of cheap 3rd party s-pens lying around I bought for the 9 a long time ago on ebay. They all work but as they don't have the bluetooth part that of course doesn't work on the 9 and 10+.
I also have a note 10.1, 10.1(2014 edition) and a Tab S4. These pens are also interchangeable...
Cheers guys...
Should also note, if the original S-pen is removed from the phone, ANY S-pen should work whether the setting is for multiple or not... If you are trying out the S-pen with your original in the phone it is detected and the 2nd pen won't work. Try removing your original pen and try with the replacement. It will also work. No need to change setting then and worry about battery warning...
