Samsung S25 Ultra: 5 S Pen Features That Make Field Work Easier

In field-based professions, every minute counts. Whether you're a site manager, tradesperson, home care worker, or freelance professional, you're constantly juggling documents, photos, signatures, and quick exchanges. The Samsung S25 Ultra, equipped with its S Pen, becomes more than just a smartphone — it's a true productivity tool. Here are 5 practical S Pen functions that transform the daily routine of workers in the field.

1. Take notes instantly on the lock screen

After a meeting, on a construction site or during a client visit, simply take out the S Pen to write directly on the screen, even when it is locked (Screen Off Memo feature).
No need to look for a notebook: your notes are automatically saved in Samsung Notes and remain accessible at any time. You can share them with your team immediately.

Concrete example: during a call, a client gives you a reference number or phone number. Take out the S Pen, write it on the black screen and put the S Pen back in its slot: everything is saved in Samsung Notes.

2. Precisely annotate photos and plans

The S Pen lets you write directly on a photo, plan or screenshot with great precision. It only takes a few seconds to circle an issue, add an arrow or write a handwritten note before sharing the file.

Concrete example: after photographing a defect on a construction site, circle the relevant area, add an explanatory note and immediately send the annotated image to your team or client.

How do you annotate a screenshot?

1. Take a screenshot.
2. Select the Write option.
3. Use the S Pen to circle an area, add an arrow or write a comment.
4. Share the annotated image immediately.

Concrete example: a site manager receives an amended plan by email. They use the S Pen to circle the important changes, add a few handwritten notes and send the annotated screenshot to their team directly from the site.

3. Sign and annotate documents on the go

No more back-and-forth with paper documents: the S Pen lets you sign a delivery note, approve a quote or annotate a photo or PDF plan with millimetre precision. Add your handwritten notes and immediately share the document by email or messaging, depending on the app you use.

Concrete example: on a construction site, take a photo of a defect that needs fixing, circle the area in red with the S Pen, add an explanatory note and send it immediately to your contractor.

4. Convert handwriting into digital text

Thanks to the Samsung S25 Ultra’s handwriting recognition engine, everything you write by hand can be converted into clean digital text. Ideal for filling in forms, writing an email or launching a quick search.

5. Extract text and capture content intelligently with AI Select

With AI Select (formerly Smart Select), you can select an area of your screen to extract an image or text, even when the content cannot normally be selected.

Concrete example: need to retrieve a company registration number from an image of an invoice or a line of text from a protected document? Circle the area with the S Pen, tap “Extract text” and paste it into your management app.
