The rear camera array is located in the corner with a rectangular protrusion like the Galaxy S20, housing three cameras. Both use anodized aluminum for the frame like their predecessors.

| The S Pen is the distinguishing feature At the bottom of the terminal, we have hidden the S Pen, a stylus that is the hallmark of the Note family since its launch. The pointer offers excellent precision and sensitivity in its operation, not in vain it has a latency of only 9 ms. Thanks to the S Pen we can take notes, select a part of the screen to take a screenshot and write what we want, draw in the PENUP application that comes pre-installed, or even creates animated messages, something that is very curious and then sends by WhatsApp. With the S Pen, we can also perform gestures in the air to execute certain functions on the terminal, without having to touch the screen. By default, it is configured so that when we press the S Pen button, the camera application opens, and inside we can experience other gestures. For example, if we raise or lower the pencil, the front and rear cameras will change (the same as if we press the S Pen button twice), in addition to zooming in or out if we move the pencil as if we were drawing a circle or if We move to one side or the other and we will be able to switch between the different camera modes. These are some examples of what can be done with the gesture system, although they can all be configured to our liking. We understand that it is an extra capacity for the S Pen, but not something that we are going to use on a day-to-day basis, although at some specific moment they can come in handy, especially camera gestures. |

If you’re not concerned as to the look of the screenshot and just wish to quickly capture your screen for the purpose of saving information to your phone or sharing the capture with friends, then either the POWER and VOLUME DOWN method or the hand-swipe method are preferable.
