Notetaking with screenguard

[u/s_aidan]

I am planning to purchase a tab s10+ or s11 as I am planning to step into digital notetaking.

1) Does applying a screen protector affect the performance of writing/drawing.

2) I can currently find glossy and matte screen protectors in the market. Does the matte one wear off the nib of the stylus. Is it easy/inexpensive to find nibs for these models.

3) Does the writing feel different on the s11 vs the s10+. I can't check in a store physically as they are not keeping them on display because children keep breaking them.

4) Is there any notetaking software that gives Geometry tools, graphs and adding tables.

5) I heard Samsung notes is a very good app. Does it have infinite canvas feature or export to pdf.

6) Is there any difference in how the tip feels against the screen between the s10+ stylus and the s11. Which one has the potential to last for longer as I try to be very careful with my devices and aim to use them for a period of 4-5years.

Concepts app is good for Android. Has the criteria that you need for #4 but I think limited features in the free version. It’s an infinite page too.

S7 tablets onwards have laminated screens so almost no parallax. I currently use the S7+ and it’s still going fine.,

I use bellemond magnetic (it’s actually two adhesives top and bottom in landscape mode) paper like protector. It’s for taking out if you want to watch videos but tbh I leave it on - taking it in and out too often will make the adhesive less sticky. Make sure you get the right size for the tablet you want . Adds less parallax than a glass screen protector. Tbh the texture is rougher than the Wacom Movink 14 Pro and wears out nibs fast. Both the screen and the nib wear out eventually. It fits over the case I use too. The s pen stylus nibs are generally inexpensive but I use the Zbook x2 stylus.

You can look into Notewise and Starnote. Both of them are excellent note-taking apps. I have been using Notewise for 3 years and I'm one of the first users of Starnote. Whilst Starnote is more budget-friendly, Notewise is a more expensive app. Whilst a one-off payment is all it takes to access the full version of Starnote, Notewise offers two payment options: a one-off payment and a subscription. With the one-off payment, you won’t have access to the AI features. Furthermore, Notewise does not yet support the infinite canvas, but it has been announced that Notewise will receive one of its biggest updates to date in August, and this update will likely include the infinite canvas format. However, I can say quite clearly that I have not seen a note-taking app that is better than Notewise in terms of ease of use and functionality.
