I've been using the S Pen for a while now and many times I've wondered why Samsung hasn't added a statistics tracking feature to its iconic stylus. Personally, I would love to know more about my S Pen usage patterns, perhaps on a weekly or monthly basis in the manner of Samsung Health weekly recaps. Even though this type of information might not be very useful in a purely-practical way, I just think it would be cool to have, preferably as an optional feature rather than it being obligatory. Here are a few examples of what statistics I'd like my S Pen to track on a weekly or monthly basis.
- How many times have I ejected the S Pen?
- For how many hours was the S Pen removed from its slot?
- What were my most-used S Pen apps?
- How many Air Actions have I performed?
- What distance have I virtually covered with the S Pen? And why not go one step further with an estimate on how many ballpoint pens I'd be consuming if I were to use those instead of an S Pen?
I'd love to have access to this type of information either through a dedicated app or a new S Pen statistics category found in Settings. Personally I would prefer this information to be provided through a dedicated statistics app with lifetime and weekly/monthly tracking, the ability to reset data, and of course, the option to opt out of certain statistics or turn off tracking altogether.
All in all, although I admit that this kind of information might not be very practical, I do think it would add an interesting layer of depth to the whole S Pen experience. What are your thoughts on this concept of S Pen tracking? Are there any S Pen statistics that you would like to be able to access on your Galaxy Note? Feel free to leave a comment below.
