Drawing on the Galaxy S4?

[hau101]

Can you use the S-Pen or other pen on the S4 to sketch with an app using pressure sensitivity? I'm currently on an iPhone and it gets tiring having to frequently slide/adjust the brush opacity on the Sketchbook app. Or should I consider the Note instead? I'm concerned of the size plus the higher price tag.

If you want a pen get a Note.
The S4 and i5 are in the same boat.

The S4 doesn't have a Wacom digitizer like the Note and Note 2 so I don't believe it detects different pressure sensitivity. It would be like using one of those nub type styluses on an iPhone/iPad. If that is a major feature concern you should get the Note.

As webdave said, either get Note 2 or wait for Note 3 -- SGS series just doesn't have the hardware to support the S-Pen with pressure sensitivity.

Get the Note 2. Secondhand price (I suggest Swappa) will drop as folks looking for the latest toy switch to the S4.

Thanks all. I'll check out the note 2 and 3.
