Samsung Galaxy Note 9 S Pen may come with music playback control: Report

Lately, a lot of rumours and reports have focused on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and its S Pen in particular. For that matter, even the first Galaxy Note 9 teaser from Samsung, focuses on the S Pen, which is a clear hint at the stylus should be receiving a prominent upgrade. This is in line with the reports coming out about it.The latest one comes from a China-based source, Ice Universe, who famously leaks information on social media.Spotted first by SamMobile, the leakster claims in his Weibo post that the Galaxy Note 9’s S Pen will basically be a portable Bluetooth controller. He further says, that since the stylus will come with support for Bluetooth, “the S Pen button could ostensibly be used for triggering a long-range remote self-timer and for controlling music playback”.The same source put up a post on Twitter with similar claims, saying that the S Pen will have Bluetooth support, and may offer some gameplay features. There are also rumours that the S Pen might even double as a Bluetooth speaker.This is not the first time we are hearing such a speculation. In an early hands-on rumoured video, mobile industry veteran Eldar Murtazin also talked about the S Pen’s Bluetooth support and it bringing some new software features.To be clear, none of this has been confirmed by Samsung. But it’s just about little patience, considering we are just over a month away from the official Galaxy Note 9 announcement on 9 August.
