What do you use the stylus for? I'm on the s24 ultra and I didn't think I've ever touched it

S22 Ultra here. Selecting text, taking cropped screenshots, placing the text writing cursor precisely where I want it, hovering over web elements to view tooltips or alt text, playing Slay the Spire and Balatro, emulating the Nintendo DS, using the button as a camera shutter, hovering over the bottom of a scrollable element to smooth-scroll without repeatedly finger-flicking, and doing anything that benefits from a touchpoint more fine than a big fat thumb. The S pen is the only reason I'm still on Samsung instead of the greener true FOSS pastures.

When its cold outside. Touch sensitive gloves just never work right or well.

It's for those really small x that my fat fingers can't get to. Lol

Using the stylus with swype/swipe keyboards is really intuitive imo.
