A few highlights:

• As I use the stylus, you can barely even tell there is a crease in the fold. This is improved from the Z Fold 3.
• The taskbar is improved, too. It’s made up of recently-used apps. 
• It’s easy to create a side-by-side experience. You can have your email open and your digital planner open on the same screen. When it comes to digital note-taking, this is huge.
• When folded, it’s not too huge to hold.

Samsung Notes vs. OneNote

OneNote is a universal application. Samsung Notes is only on Samsung devices. While both apps sync across devices, Samsung Notes only syncs across Samsung devices.

Samsung Notes is a PDF annotation app. The Key2Success Planner is fully hyperlinked for this application, speeding up your movement through the device.

OneNote has a different innate navigation style (Key2Success Planner does offer a hyperlinked version, however). Hyperlinks allow you to navigate through the planner quickly.

Writing in OneNote provides options to change pen size and color. There is also a highlight option. It’s a natural feel for the most part. In Samsung Notes, there are a couple extra options for writing – different pens and tools.

And yes! You can type in OneNote and in Samsung Notes in the planner. See it in action:
