Yesterday, Apple introduced its first tablet with a stylus, before so did Microsoft, and earlier devices with a stylus began producing company Samsung. Let’s see what distinguishes one from the other styli.
Galaxy Note
S-Pen Stylus for Samsung smartphones and tablets manufactured by Wacom. They have a fairly complicated electronic filling, but, despite this, they are passive, ie does not require power from electricity. How is this possible?
The design of the S-Pen stylus can be detected inductor and an oscillating circuit with a variable resonance frequency. The screen tablets and smartphones Galaxy Note built a receiver that responds to changes in the inductance of the coil stylus, depending on the strength of pressing the tip to the surface.
The stylus S-Pen «fourth generation” used in the Galaxy Note 5 – the most progressive. It can emulate the gestures, and paint it can be even off the screen, and when pushing in the stylus tip back into the smartphone is automatically saved. The stylus of the original Galaxy Note perceived clicking with 256 gradations of force, Galaxy Note 2 and 3, the number of grades has been increased to 1024, and in the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note 5 grown even doubled – to 2048.
Samsung does not sell stylus separately, they are included in the standard series devices Galaxy Note.
Surface Pro
Stylus for Surface Pro active – powered by the battery size AAAA and liaises with the tablet through the module Bluetooth.
This stylus is specially created for the tablet Surface Pro, so it has three additional buttons – to erase written or drawn, to simulate pressing the right buttons mouse to run or save the screenshot OneNote. The sensitivity of the stylus is configured via a special application.
Production Stylus for Surface Pro is engaged in the company N-trig, which was acquired by Microsoft last winter. Stylus for Tablet Surface first two generations kept pressing 1024 level, but the Surface Pro 3 uses a pen with 256-step gradation. According to Microsoft, professional artists and designers even more than enough.

iPad Pro
Apple Pencil stylus for the tablet iPad Pro is powered by a rechargeable battery and charging port Lightning. One charge enough for 12 hours of work with him.
Apple does not disclose any manufacturer of a stylus or its technical parameters (such as the number of gradations Velocity), apparently assuming that ordinary consumers to go into such details do not necessarily . Just look video, which shows what is possible to create these masterpieces of the stylus, and look at it in the context of the tip.
It looks really nice, much better than any capacitors, coils and batteries AAAA. Something like an expensive fountain pen.
Apple Pencil is not included in the box iPad Pro, it is proposed to buy separately for $ 99.
As you can see, the companies completely different approach. Samsungovskie feathers Galaxy Note issued to users for free and are compatible with all devices that work with the products of Wacom. Microsoft has created a proprietary pen and gives its customers their tablets, and Apple again in his repertoire – it must be purchased separately stylus, and it is not compatible with anything except the iPad Pro.
