Anyone try using the note 5's s-pen on the new display of the s8 and s8+ due to the rumors that it could have included one back in January? That would be pretty cool if it works and we can get a case with a compartment for the pen.

Got 4 Note7 s-pens here but no time to hit the best buy! If that changes I'll report back
Nice, keeping an eye on this space
The Note7 s-pen was not compatible with the s8 plus. My guess is there won't be and s-penNice, keeping an eye on this space
The Note series has a special screen. If it does work, it probably won't work well.
"Users that wish to gain S Pen features not available to the Galaxy S7 in the past wont have much luck. Without the digitizer hardware of the Note 7, any S Pen from any previous Note device won’t work. Users will be able to use a standard stylus, but it wont quite be the same.."

it either works perfectly or it doesn't work at all.
and on the S8 it definitely doesn't work, even the C-Pen doesn't work(old high precision capacitive stylus for galaxy tab and S series devices)
it's going to be a big adjustment for me, coming from a Note 4.

did any of you install the Required SPen APK?
if not you may have the same results trying to use the SPen with a chalk board.
