MWC 2012 – LG Optimus Vu vs Samsung Galaxy Note hands on review

LG Optimus Vu vs Samsung Galaxy Note – stylus

LG has opted for a much chunkier stylus than Samsung's smaller S Pen and unlike the Galaxy Note, you can't store LG's stylus in the Optimus Vu itself. Both styli feel completely different in use – Samsung's S Pen utilises Wacom digitzer technology and is very slippery on the screen which can sometimes make it hard to control, whereas LG's capacitive stylus' rubber tip offers a nice bit of resistance and a little more control.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Note's S Pen has more in the technology department, offering up pressure sensitivity and the ability to stow away in the device itself, but again, personal preference does come heavily into play here. We did like the resistance offered by the easier-to-grip LG stylus and both devices provide the ability to take and annotate screenshots very easily.
