    I think it's pretty cheap because I expected it to cost at least $200.

        So it only supports a few Samsung devices? This would be a lot better of a value proposition if it worked with all devices.

          Yeah, it would be nice for a coherent compatibility list, there is nothing on the Samsung website under Specs or Additional Info.
          I have a Tab S6, I'd like to find out if it's compatible with it despite its age.

The incompatibilities mostly stem from hardware limitations. The only feature that would likely be affected by incompatibility would be the tilt detection. Other than that, it should work fine

                      A nice way if you want to get the 'S-pen edition' of the already big Galaxy S23+ and much older models.

                      And the sentence that shows it 'supports all S series' is just misleading. It can't even support the S23+, lmfao.

                                        If it's not compatible with all or most of the samsung tablets and phones, then who cares. Battery free is a huge bonus, if it uses a capacitor like the S tab ones its a great design that prevents wrecking the lifespan of the pencil because of constant magnet charging and battery wear + overheating on hot summers. But being universally compatible accross a range of devices is the most important to me. Last thing I need is yet another planned obsolescence periferal.
