Since the Korean company once again used a stylus in telephony, something that had not been seen since the first iPhone appeared, many have been the users who They have gone from criticism to praise. The usefulness of a Pen on a smartphone, depending on the use we make of it, is usually more successful than wrong. Also, as we have seen in the Note 7, now this device can be used even when the screen of the device is wet. Each new version of Note offers us new features of this Pen, features that seem to have no end, according to the latest patent that the Korean company registered a few months ago and in which we see how the stylus could incorporate a speaker.
This new stylus would integrate a speaker in the final part of the device, in the part that rests on the hand, replacing the device's speaker. If we remove the stylus, the sound of the device would still be available through the hole in the Pen, although logically the audio quality would not be the same as it is currently. We do not know what idea goes through the head of the company to change the location of the speaker of the terminal and place it in the Pen but the only reason would be a substantial increase in the size of the screen to try to take advantage of the edges of it.
As a patent that it is, this does not mean that this new design can finally see the light of day, although if Samsung's intention is show only screen on the front of the terminal this could be a more than interesting option. Or perhaps the Korean company has simply registered this option so that it can protect its ideas from possible future uses by other companies. Every year the main technology companies register a large number of patents for this reason, which does not mean that they will finally see the light, in part because many of them are ahead of their time.
