The listing does not reveal anything towards what Samsung’s stylus will be capable of, but considering it does include Bluetooth support, it could be used as a trigger for multiple purposes. This ranges from controlling music playback to a trigger for selfies, as well as being a dedicated button to launch Bixby or a note-taking app. Samsung has not openly dropped any clues yet, but it has been hinting that the S Pen will be one of the focus areas of this year’s Galaxy Note 9 launch. Samsung’s website, which has a teaser image of the Note 9 launch, also reveals what very clearly looks like the S Pen. The details of the S Pen on the US FCC website also shows up just days after the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy Tab S4 received certifications from the regulatory body. The Galaxy Note 9 along with the Samsung Gear S4 and the Galaxy Tab S4 are expected to be announced globally at an event on 9 August, 2018, with an India launch expected to follow within the same month.
