I'm a diehard Note user. The Spen adds so much functionality to the device, makes copying text easy, and possible anywhere, and makes screen shots, etc way more useful. 

On an S23 Ultra right now which is basically the new Samsung Note line. 

However I also really like One+. 

I've got a 0ne+9 Pro that is my "burner device" that is legit awesome. Great battery life easily root able, lots of custom roms for different security reasons. It's another great option.  

 How do you feel about samsung removing the note line? Do you use a case to hold the s pen? Using an s20 and would love to try the pen out. I need to upgrade. 

 The s23 ultra is the Note 23. the pen fits inside the phone. 

Also if you want to talk cases this is the best one I have ever used. https://amzn.to/3PvDzSi

Pitaka makes solid hardware. I love the case and the magnetic wireless charging car mount is amazing.
