Since the transition to capacitive screens smartphones with a stylus have become a "rare species", however, in 2016, manufacturers have something to please in this regard. And not only Samsung.

In the days of resistive screens, almost every smartphone had a stylus in the kit since the days of the first Palm Pilots. Then Apple revolutionized the iPhone with a capacitive screen and a finger-friendly interface. It turned out to be so convenient that nowadays everyone modern smartphones use this principle.

In fact, smartphones with stylus are very convenient. The point is different: an accurate stylus for a capacitive screen is a rather expensive "pleasure", since it requires special technical solutions, as in Samsung smartphones. Galaxy Note.

For a resistive screen, the stylus was an ordinary "stick" that could be poked at the screen (any solid object was suitable for this purpose). Cheap stylus for capacitive displays are inaccurate and inconvenient in fact "rubber bands".

In addition, the stylus, as a rather small accessory, tends to get lost. And the same S-Pen for the Galaxy Note 5 is very expensive, while it still needs to be found on sale. Therefore, the creators of the iPhone, and after it all the other manufacturers, decided to simply save on styluses.

Nevertheless, smartphones with stylus continue to be in demand, which is confirmed by sales Samsung devices Galaxy line Note. The Galaxy Note 5 recently became the ACSI leader in user satisfaction.

Recently, the Cupertino-based company itself has turned the trend in the opposite direction, releasing a very unexpected accessory. Apple Pencil... So far, it only works with iPad tablets Pro, but some analysts mobile market do not rule out that the iPhone 7 will also support the Apple Pencil.

However, today we are talking about smartphones with a stylus. Currently, they are mainly produced by Samsung in its Galaxy Note line and occupy almost the entire niche. Other manufacturers, due to the relative high cost and low demand, "do not climb" here. Nevertheless, there are alternatives to the "Koreans".

ASUS Fonepad Note 6? (ME560CG)

The device is positioned as a tablet, and this is directly written on the company's website. However, in terms of size and capabilities, the Fonepad Note 6 is a regular 6-inch phablet.

The stylus technology of the ASUS Fonepad Note 6 is magnetic, similar to that used by Samsung in the Note line, but the stylus is not compatible with each other.

The device was announced back in 2013, but it still has a good "quick wits" and can be found on sale. A huge plus is the small price, especially when compared with smartphones with a stylus. Samsung Galaxy Note.

LG Stylus 2 (LG Stylus II)

This device was announced earlier this year almost simultaneously with the Galaxy S7. Against the background of the rest of the "wave" of new products, the announcement of LG Stylus 2 passed almost imperceptibly, but it is interesting to us precisely as a smartphone with a stylus.

As for the latter, the LG Stylus 2 has it made without unnecessary "tricks" - like a small thin stick that you can poke at the screen. The manufacturer says that the stylus head is made of a special nano-material, which makes it more accurate and practical than conventional rubber bands.

In general, the LG Stylus 2 is an inexpensive, but powerful enough phablet with a screen diagonal of 5.7 inches and a quad-core processor. All major modern mobile technologies are present, including 4G LTE. In Russia, for some reason, it is quite rare on sale.

This is an improved version of Stylus 2, which was presented in early June 2016 and has not yet reached the shelves at the time of this writing. The screen resolution was increased from HD Ready 720 × 1280 to 1920 × 1080, the processor is an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 with a frequency of 1.4 GHz, the amount of RAM is 2 (LG K530) or 3 Gb (LG K535), depending on the modification, the built-in storage is 16/64 Gb.

The stylus of the LG Stylus 2 Plus is the same as the version without the plus. The price of the smartphone is expected to be around $ 340.

Alcatel One Touch Hero 2

The only, perhaps, modern decent smartphone with a stylus among the competitors of the Galaxy Note line from Samsung. Released at the end of 2014 as an inexpensive competitor to the Galaxy Note 4. Of the stylus capabilities, it is worth noting the automatic letter recognition mode in typed text.

Now many experts are inclined to believe that the technology of touch control of smartphones was developed and successfully implemented by the progenitor of the American Apple, which has become a world legend. The technology quickly passed the first stages and is currently being applied in mobile technology all over the place. If ten years ago they were quite common, today only a small assortment of them flaunts on store shelves.

Smartphones with a stylus are gaining popularity

Such successful companies as Samsung, LG and others declare every year that the popularity of such devices (in which you can use not only your finger, but also a special device called a stylus) is growing. How can this be explained? And this is explained by the fact that smartphones with a stylus are more convenient to use. This accessory gives the user the ability to quickly handle editing spreadsheets, for example, or entering text. The point here is precisely the accuracy of the set. Let's talk about which models from this segment are the most popular.

Samsung with stylus: Galaxy Note 4 smartphone

On the this moment sales of this device have reached very high levels. It is unlikely that this moment is. And the popularity of the device can be explained by the fact that it successfully combines the most strengths such as a powerful iron part and an excellent design, worked out clearly with taste. The pride of the device is, of course, its screen. It has a diagonal of 5.7 inches. A SuperAMOLED panel is installed as a matrix.

Designed for the reading lover

The device was created by South Korean developers for people who love to read eBooks or browse international web pages. The processor, which contains eight cores, cannot be ignored. The first four of them operate at a clock frequency of 1.9 GHz. The second four are at 1.3 GHz. The smartphone is preinstalled with three gigabytes random access memory... It provides an excellent opportunity to multitask even with fairly demanding applications. The built-in is designed for 32 gigabytes, and this volume can be increased by integrating an external microSD device up to 128 GB.

A Samsung smartphone with a stylus boasts a camera. She takes incredible quality pictures. The matrix of the main module has a size equal to 16 megapixels. The device is equipped with an intelligent optical stabilization... will be more modest, only 3.7 megapixels, but this is enough for the eyes to take high-quality pictures on it. The stylus is an electronic pen called the S-Pen. It perceives requests and signals much better, therefore it has an increased accuracy of work. There were no negative reviews about this device.

LG G3 Stylus D690

This LG smartphone with stylus was designed by the company for fans. The developers promised to please the fans - they did it! Another, but original product with a name that clarifies the situation. The main advantage of this device is its 5.5-inch screen. unfortunately, not large, only 540 by 960 pixels. It is still unknown which processor model is installed in this phablet. However, there is reliable information confirming that the iron filling has four cores in its composition. They operate at a clock speed of 1.3 GHz. There is one gigabyte of RAM and 8 GB of non-volatile memory. Not as much as we would like. However, this is also sufficient for multitasking. And the problem with the lack of long-term memory is solved by integrating an external, more capacious drive.

A spoon of tar

Photographically, the subject of the current review is similar to Alcatel's OneTouch Hero 2. The main module has a resolution of 13 megapixels. Additional camera did not perform as well as expected. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixels. It seems that this should be enough to create good selfies. However, be careful when buying a device in the event that you like to customize the camera, as they say, according to your needs. As it is written in the reviews about this phablet, here the choice of configurations and their change are very limited, so not all photography lovers are satisfied. Nevertheless, the LG G3 Stylus D690 is exactly the device that belongs to the class of smartphones with stylus for little money.

Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2

We have already mentioned this device in passing. However, now it's time to get to know him in more detail. Smartphones with a stylus, a review of which is presented in this article, have their own characteristics. And what exactly can a solution from Alcatel offer us? As it turned out, the device will be able to surprise the user in a whole range of directions, from design and style to graphics and overall performance.

The most powerful iron

The work is based on the chipset of the MediaTek family, and more specifically, the MT6592 model. All eight cores working at a universal frequency are working in it in the sweat of their brow. By the way, it is equal to 2 gigahertz. The volumes of RAM and long-term memory, respectively, are 2 and 16 gigabytes. The "constant" can be increased by using an external storage device of the MicroSD format. All this stuffing is hidden by a six-inch screen that displays a picture in Full-HD quality. The role of the matrix is ​​played by the IPS panel.

The cameras of the device deserve attention. The main module is designed for 13.1 megapixels, and the front one - for 5 megapixels. Lovers of creation high-quality photos will be uncontrollably happy with how the modules work. In the reviews about this phablet it is written that it is ideal for those who like not only to take pictures, but also to launch “heavy” toys. Rest assured that the powerful hardware can handle these applications with ease.

Note 3 Neo

The list, which indicated with a stylus as of 2016, is coming to an end, and now we will talk about the model, the name of which was given above. For South Korean developer has already become not just a rule, but a tradition to use a matrix of the S-AMOLED type. Screen resolution this device allows you to display the picture in HD quality. The hardware part consists of a six-core processor (“Cortex A15”). Four of its cores are clocked at 1.7 GHz. The rest are at 1.3 GHz. The amount of RAM is two gigabytes. Long-term - 8 times more. It may seem to some that this is not enough. In this case, you can simply purchase an external microSD drive with a capacity of up to 64 gigabytes.

One of the strongest features of this device is its cameras. The rear has a resolution of 8 megapixels, it is equipped with an LED flash. The frame rate for movies is 30 frames per second. Selfie lovers will appreciate front camera device as it is equipped with a 2 megapixel module. To make yourself a high-quality avatar and upload it to a social network, this will be more than enough. In the reviews of this device, negative points were noticed regarding the quality of the products. The fact is that a certain batch of smartphones came out defective. Therefore, from time to time, users came across just such models. At present, the situation has been resolved, the defective models have been isolated and removed from equipment warehouses. Therefore, the purchase can no longer be afraid.

At the dawn of the modern mobile era, an impressive proportion of smartphones were equipped with stylus. The stylus was not a refinement, but an attribute of objective necessity - without it, the operation process touch phone turned into torture. Resistive displays were installed on the gadgets, which did not react to heat (like capacitive ones), but to pressing. It was also possible to control such smartphones with your fingers, but in order to get to the desired letter on the keyboard, you had to spend several attempts and a lot of time. Fortunately, now smartphones with resistive displays are sold only at flea markets - which, however, did not make developers forget about stylus. The most notable of modern gadgets capable of working with "electronic pens", we will present in this review.

• Screen diagonal: 5.7 inch
• Display resolution: 2560 by 1440 dots (QHD)
• Built-in memory: 32 GB

Price: from 19 300 rubles

It seemed that the series Galaxy Note has already outlived its usefulness (no one is surprised now by smartphones with large screens), but it was not so - Samsung released new gadget with S Pen, which, according to experts, turned out to be significantly better than all previous models of the series. Consumers also liked the smartphone: in 2016 Note 5 became the leader in the ACSI rating - that is, in terms of user satisfaction. The main thing than Samsung Galaxy Note 5 differs from previous versions Note Is design. The smartphone is made of premium materials (glass, aluminum) and has a very slim body- only 7.6 mm. Smartphone stylus functionality Samsung also modified - user Note 5 able, for example, to draw on the locked screen and make notes in documents PDF. Curious innovation latest model : Note 5 will not allow the owner to lose the stylus, as it will constantly remind that the slot is under S Pen empty, vibration. Stylus S Pen you can write on the screen like a pen, but typing messages is nevertheless more convenient with your fingers - the recognition system may turn out to be powerless in front of the user's handwritten "scribbles".

LG G4 Stylus

• Screen diagonal: 5. 7 inch
• Display resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels (HD)
• Built-in memory: 8 GB

Price: from 11 500 rubles

Though G4 Stylus has a screen of impressive size, it is not the manufacturer's flagship and is more likely to belong to the average price segment... The phone does not amaze the imagination either with its design, or the presence of a mass of innovative features, or the beauty of the giant display - the HD resolution for the phablet is still too low, and the result is a noticeable graininess of the picture. Have Samsung there was a model with similar characteristics and disadvantages - Galaxy Mega.

In the international market, this phone is also known as Lg G Stylo.

About S Pen or other exclusive stylus technology is out of the question. G4 Stylus equipped with the simplest "stylus" with a rubber tip, which does not recognize the force of pressing. There are only two ways to use the stylus: you can draw in the application Quick Memo+ and handwriting the text of the message.

Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2

• Screen diagonal: 6 inch
• Display resolution: 1920 by 1080 pixels (FullHD)
• Built-in memory: 16 GB

Price: from 9 980 rubles

OneTouch Hero 2 , unfortunately, it is extremely problematic now to find them on the windows of Russian showrooms and stores. The gadget is characterized by an excellent value for money and, according to many users, is the only worthy alternative to the Samsung series Note among smartphones with a stylus. In favor Hero 2 say a powerful 8-core processor, 13-megapixel camera Sony Exmor with autofocus and stabilization, capable of reading QR codes, support for LTE. But the stylus here is more of a fun toy than a useful accessory; it can be used to draw and make text notes. In terms of sensitivity to the pen Alcatel far to S Pen – users Hero 2 prefer to type because handwriting is too tedious.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo

• Screen diagonal: 5.5 inch
• Display resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels (HD)
• Built-in memory: 16 GB

Price: from 14 990 rubles

Samsung Galaxy Neo aptly nicknamed Note"For the poor." This device really belongs to the middle price segment, although it has an external resemblance to Note 4 and Note 5 ... Anyone who "digs deeper" will find that, for example, the display resolution is low enough and about no QuadHD out of the question. However, this does not mean at all that Galaxy Neo bad. The phone boasts an attractive design (there is an option with a leather-like design and a decorative stitch), the presence of an LTE module, support for 2 SIM cards, compatibility with smart watches Gear... The stylus is "not for show" here. S Pen equipped with a special button, when pressed, you can access directly to 5 useful applications- for example, to Action Memo(electronic diary for notes) and Scrapbooker(content tracking program). In terms of stylus functionality Galaxy Neo just a little behind Galaxy Note 5 ... In retail Galaxy Note 3 Neo hard to find too. With a strong desire to buy such a device in 2017, you will have to "search" "average" online stores and popular Chinese trading platforms.

Surface Phone: should we expect a new product from Microsoft?

Information about technical characteristics smartphone is unconfirmed. The smartphone hasn't come out yet.

• Screen diagonal: 5.5 inch
• Display resolution: 2560 by 1440 pixels (QuadHD)
• Built-in memory: 32 GB

Lest the reader get the complete impression that the stylus is a relic of the past, we should talk about one highly anticipated model that will be equipped with an electronic pen. This model is called Microsoft Surface Phone- if you believe the Chinese insiders, it will look like this:

CEO Microsoft S. Nadella confirmed that the company will abandon the brand Lumia, because it is already developing new series smartphones on Windows. The "first bird" of this series should be Surface Phone. Initially, it was expected that in the spring of 2017 the device would already go on sale, but at the moment (the article was written in March) it is obvious that Microsoft keep your fans waiting longer... Market experts, based on insider information, suggest that Surface Phone will be equipped with the latest processor Snapdragon 835 (the same will be put in Galaxy S8 ) and OS Windows 10 Mobile Redstone 3 ... In addition, the new gadget will receive support for a keyboard cover and stylus called Microsoft Pen... Stylus functionality is expected to be commensurate with functionality S Pen- that is, a simple stick with a rubber tip will not be included in the kit. About the estimated price Surface Phone not a word yet - although it is highly doubtful that it will be sold cheaper than the latest model in the line Note... Obviously, due to the launch of a new series of smartphones Microsoft will make another attempt to impose competition on the leaders of the mobile electronics market.

Conclusion

Considering how few smartphones with stylus have been released in recent years, the use of an electronic pen is by no means a new trend. Those models that are now on the market (like Alcatel Hero 2 ), slowly cease to be sold, others have already been discontinued - in particular, a remarkable device Asus Fonepad Note 6 ... However, there is reason to believe that the stylus will soon return to its popularity. They say that iPhone 8 will receive support for an electronic pen, which will be called Apple Pencil... The flagships of other "premium" manufacturers will also be equipped with styluses - S8 from Samsung and Surface Phone from Microsoft... Therefore, it is too early to put an end to the technology of the electronic pen and write it into anachronisms.

All modern tablets are designed for finger control, because most users consider this option to be the most convenient. However, people who love to draw or often take text notes will not be able to do this with their hands alone. In this case, you need to choose a tablet with a stylus, which will be an excellent assistant for businessmen, designers, artists and just creative users.

However, from the dozens of products available on the market, the device from Lenovo is distinguished not at all by characteristics, but by a touch panel located on the second half of the tablet. This area can act as a virtual keyboard, for which it needs to be switched to the appropriate mode. After that, the backlight on the touch panel will light up with letter designations and delimitation of the "buttons" area. For blind typing, such a tablet equipped with a keyboard and stylus will not work, but the Halo keyboard in the Yoga Book YB1-X90L is able to provide more convenience when working with small amounts of text.

However, the most impressive thing about chinese tablet with good screen not at all, but the ability to digitize information through handwritten input.
