Customer Reviews for Samsung - Galaxy Tab S11/S11 Ultra S-Pen - White

the most awful piece of tech I've ever used
on October 29, 2025
Posted by: ttnale
This pen is extremely light which may be seen as a pro or a con. The hex shape of the pen makes clicking the button with the side of your thumb extremely uncomfortable, rendering the pen useless. Furthermore, the magnet is weak and the pen itself feels cheap and flimsy. The pen doesn't write precisely and my pen cracked on its own without me using it overnight. In comparison to its predecessors, this pen is an awful, and I mean AWFUL embarrassment. The quality of this pen does not compare to the previous S-Pens.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They said pencil and made pencil

This product is inspired by a pencil. Its size, its weight is more close to a real pencil. People who complain about its weight are probably never write or hold a real pencil.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I rate the pen as being really nice.The new S Pen, but the problem is that you can't find replacement nibs for it anywhere.I've repeatedly contacted Samsung.And they have no idea where to if the nib goes bad? And I just bought a tab S11 11" tablet , and they were absolutely no extras in the box.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Howdy BobD,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the new S Pen – Galaxy Tab S11. The redesigned tip offers smoother gliding, a more natural handwriting feel, and low-latency strokes, especially on the S11 display. If you're a writer or artist, you'll notice the increased precision. Replacement accessories may differ by region, so contact our Samsung Support Team for help. The S Pen features durable nibs built for everyday writing and drawing. Your feedback helps Samsung plan future accessories for dedicated S Pen users. We appreciate you being part of the Samsung family and sharing your insights.

Nice shape, bad features
on September 20, 2025
Posted by: Lumpia
Expertise:Intermediate
The love the new shape of the S-pen! It just looks so much more premium because of the refined shape (but it could be better if it weighed more), however, the fact that the s11 can not magnetically connect to the back is a horrible downgrade! That bar on the back of the S-tabs is what makes it look premium, and makes it stand out from others. Additionally, the pen being on the back made it easier and more secure to store...Connecting it to the side would mean having to make a case wider, and it just doesn't look as premium as having it on the back.
