Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Will Match Apple In Stylus Speed

The Samsung Galaxy Note phones are among themost popular and powerful Android devices every year. We are in the tenth generation with the GalaxyNote 20 — remember, Samsung skipped the Galaxy Note 6 and went straight from the Note5 to the Note 7. Each device has come with a variant of theS-Pen, an included stylus the software in the OS supports. This is no ordinary stylus.

Its many functions aim to boost productivity. The S-Pen has a cult following on Android. There aren’t a ton of people that use them,but the ones that do love it. Of course, it was being said that Samsunghas a lot of new features in store for this neat little stylus for the Galaxy Note 20.

But we didn't know exactly what those newfeatures are going to be up until now. Our favorite Samsung tipster Ice Universetweeted this a couple of days ago. Almost everyone who saw the tweet was like... Well, let me explain what that exactly means. You see When we draw or write stuff with theS-Pen, a lot of calculations take place behind the scenes. The phone captures the location data and theS-Pen records the pressure and tilt levels. This data is sent to the processors and theprocessors orders the drawing application to display the strokes on the screen. This process repeats over and over again. Basically you can call this latency.

In simple terms, latency is the delay beforea transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer. So the 9ms Ice Universe is talking about isthe latency of the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note 20. Basically a response time. Even though Samsung is the one who popularizedthe concept of a stylus on phones and tablets but it's Apple who right now has the bestresponse time for a stylus at 9ms.

Here is the side by side comparison betweenApple Pencil and S Pen in slow motion. You can see that the S Pen has a slight delaybetween the stylus and the line appearing on the screen. The Apple Pencil, on the other hand, has almostno delay due to its super-fast 9ms response time and a fast 120hz display refresh rate. There's no information on the internet aboutthe latency of Galaxy Note 10's S-Pen.

But if I had to guess it's about 16ms. So with the latency of 9ms Samsung will matchthe Apple pencil in response time and coupled with a 120Hz refresh rate, this is going tomake a noticeable difference for the S-Pen users. By the way, 9ms of latency is astonishingbut there is always room for improvement. As smartphones and computers become more advancedthe latency time can reduce even further to 1ms.

When that happens the stylus latency willbe purely instant, like a real pencil where Writing and drawing with the stylus feelsas natural as using an actual pencil. Even though this seems impossible, but Microsofthas showcased a demo already how a 1ms input would look like. Of course, We are not quite at those levelsand it would take a few years to reach there, but the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note 20 is gettingthe stylus much closer to that magical 1ms territory.

The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra willhave different camera setups and therefore the size of the camera module will be differentas well. And here we have some pictures of cases ofthe Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra that showcases the difference between the sizes of thesecamera modules. The Note 20 Ultra has a similar camera layoutas the S20 Ultra while the Note 20's camera module is comparable to the Galaxy S20+.

In any case, both of these are huge by allmeans but the layout is less ugly on the Note 20 Ultra compared to the S20 Ultra primarilydue to the boxier design of the Note 20. Anyway for all the latest updates on the GalaxyNote 20 please be sure to subscribe and as always I'll see you tomorrow...Peace out!
