The S-Pen is the “key” to unlocking all of the features on the Note 3 according to Samsung. New interface controls have morphed this phablet into a very friendly tool for different activities. Dragging the stylus across the screen with a pin-pointed dot lets you control a series of tools to write a memo, enter scrapbooks etc. Three different shapes are the most important parts of the phablet. Sketching a circle and box serve as shortcuts with the Air command wheel.
3. The Air Command Is A New Menu That Links Shortcuts Together

The circular menu is called Air Command. Tapping the screen with the pen brings up Air command that offers five quick commands. Action memos lets users copy down notes that can be activated as action items later. Scrapbook stores content stashed online with the Evernote Web browser while Screen Write enables screen shots to be taken that can be edited. Finder also serves as your essential search bar when scouring the phone for specific content.
