does the stylus have build-in battery?
when you put the stylus near the screen, there' a dot on the screen.

The plastic tips feel much better on a tempered glass screen protector than the rubber ones.

Actually the pen is powered by an electrical field generated by the phone. The electrical field is also used to determine pen position. Pen contact is determined by the pressure placed on the point of the pen. To prove this, take out the pen and open action note. Hover above the screen and then press the tip with your finger instead of the screen. You will still place marks on the screen. This shows that the screen does not interact with the pen in any way.

Actually, there are both hard plastic & rubber tips included. You can tell the difference between the two if you look closely

wow thanks i didn't know my extras were of rubber AND plastic. my default one was rubber and it didn't glide as well as i wanted it to (at least on my ebay tempered glass protector). i changed it out for a plastic one and now it's perfect (if anything, too slippery). now i have 1 extra plastic, and 4 rubbers.
OP, try to double check your extras... the plastic tips are even shinier than the rubbers, so you can visually see the difference with a good eye.

I had no idea that it came with plastic tips. I popped one in and the pen is much more enjoyable to use now. Plus there's no more sticky streak marks on my screen from the rubber tip wearing away.
In glad I saw this thread.

just checked my spare tips. 2 plastic and 3 rubber + 1 rubber(original)....seems a bit much on the rubber ones lol..but im guessing they do wear out faster
the plastic ones feel alot...nicer on the screen than the rubber ones lol

---

Does anyone know where to buy replacement plastic tips? I checked the box and can't find my replacement ones. I've searched and the only option I found was buying a brand new S Pen + the tips for around ~$20. My current rubber tip is almost completely worn out.

Don't let it get to you, it isn't like you started a new thread to ask about it.

wow, I've had my phone since October 4th, and hadn't even noticed that there are both plastic and rubber-tipped replacement nibs in the box! the plastic one is much smoother when using a tempered glass screen protector, so I swapped out the one that originally came installed.
thanks for the post !

ohh..
everyone has plastic and rubber tips?
mine only has plastic replacements, i find the rubber one better on my simple diamond screen protector.
I also tried each and every tip, they are all plastic.
