hey it's Jeff regard from Andrew Authority what's going on everybody and here we have a feature focus video focusing on the new features of the s-pen now the S Pen has always been a bit of a trump card of sorts for the note line oh is that little bit more that this phone had over pretty much any other smart device and it still brings a lot of the same great functionality there are a lot of features that return from before and will mostly focus on the new things that Samsung put into this new seventh iteration the S Pen however is still able to be used like a mouse on to the note 7 screen being able to hover over let's say folders in the gallery to get a better look at what might be inside of that folder you can still use the air view for a lot of different functions not really anything new here but it's still a nice feature to have for a style as found on this phone we'll go ahead and dive into one of the new features however we'll start off by opening up the air commands menu and you can already see a couple of new shortcuts you can change these shortcuts also so if you're going to take the S Pen out and go straight into let's say a regular application you can always put one as one of these shortcuts but I go ahead and put down the translate and the magnify features now translate is a wonderful new feature that we think will be pretty useful for those of you who travel and of course what you'll do is just select the Translate shortcut in the air command menu and be able to hover over again using air view any particular words in a particular language and translate it to another language there are 71 in total there's only one real limitation to the translate feature at least for the moment and it's that you can only do it word by word we have yet to have the feature to highlight a sentence or even a whole block of text and be able to translate that on the fly but at least word for word you will be able to get translations easily then we move over to let's say a simpler feature but it's still quite powerful the magnify feature essentially you get a small square that you are able to use with air view to hover over areas of the screen that you want to look at more closely you can have a bunch of different zoom percentages including 300% if you really need to get close into there and you'll be able to magnify pretty much any bit of the screen and then we'll go ahead and move into the smart selects smart select in and of itself is a feature returns from the note 5 but you now have the ability to create gifts now animation over on the top there is what is used in order to create a small frame of the size that you can pick that will take the motion off of the screen and create a 15 second clip that is in gif form now smart select was already an easy way of just taking out just the little sections of a display or of just even a website that is on the display in order to share with your friends but with the smart select animation capture you'll be able to get 15-second gifts pretty much in the easiest way possible and be able to share them straight from that ability but putting away air command means that we can go into the Notes app now they made a big deal about the streamlining of the UI in the samsung galaxy note 7 in that with the Notes app you now have a consolidation of for different applications I used to all do different things and we're all installed on previous note devices now action memo memo S note and scrapbook are all put into the same application just to consolidate all of their features and it's pretty much your very full-featured notes application you'll be able to create notes you'll be able to type on them paint on them write on them with a bunch of different brushes and be able to put together colors with a full palette of colors that when you put two colors together will create a whole new one too much like in real life and you'll be able to share those notes not only in the pen up social media app but also with your friends and through different regular sharing applications as well the final feature we'll look at is the screen off memo now screen off memo is not new in and of itself you just have the phone on standby with a turned off display or in this case they always on display displayed and when you take out the s-pen you'll have a black canvas to easily write on in order to just jot down quick notes whenever you feel the need to the cool thing about the screen off memo now however is that you can pin it to the always-on display essentially when you create your screen off memo there's a small little pin at the top that you'll be able to hit and then the screen off memo that you just created will be part of the always-on display or aod for up to an hour unless notifications or any other things come up that have to take up that space and the always-on display so that's just your quick look at the new features of the s-pen there's definitely a lot more that the Aspen can do and it's one of the reasons why the note line is actually quite popular there is an extra feature here one that we weren't really able to show except for a demo as you're seeing right now the s-pen is water-resistant as is the entire phone so there is the ability to write down notes underwater and if you actually have ever wanted to do that before maybe you can tell us in the comments below why you would actually need that water resistance is nice to have but being able to write underwater we're still not too sure about that keep it tuned to Android 30 for even more about the samsung galaxy note 7 the s-pen the future focuses we have n comparisons of the phone and you can keep it tuned here for even more because we are your source for all things Android
