The S Pen on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a versatile tool that activates as soon as you pop it out of the bottom-left slot of the device.

Getting Started

To begin, simply press the end of the stylus to click it out of the silo. If the screen is off, you can immediately start writing to create an Off-screen memo. Once you’re done, tapping the pin icon will save it directly to Samsung Notes.

Samsung reported that first-quarter profit likely surged more than 700% year-over-year, driven by explosive demand for high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI training and inference systems. The number is staggering but follows a period when Samsung’s memory business was being undercut by inventory gluts and pricing pressure.

The reversal is a clean signal: the AI buildout has moved deep enough into the stack that it is now pulling on memory, not just logic chips. Nvidia gets most of the narrative oxygen when people talk about AI hardware, but the demand chain runs straight through DRAM and HBM suppliers. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are all beneficiaries of the same underlying dynamic.
