0:18
APK if you want to try it I'll put it
0:20

1:28
description below if you're interested
1:30
so let's go ahead and go into Samsung
1:32
Notes on both of these devices and just
1:35
take a quick look so let me go home to
1:38
all notes there's not really any crazy
1:40
uh changes right here this pretty much
1:43
looks similar if you look in the three
1:44
dots menu not a whole lot looking new
1:47
there so it doesn't look like first
1:48
glance that there's really a lot new in
1:50
this update but there is quite a few
1:52
things new once you go into not only the
1:55
settings but also into the notes menu
1:57
itself so we'll take a look at some of
1:58
these differences so the first one is
2:01
your default note style you'll see over
2:03
here on the left is the new layout for
2:05
the UI over here is the old version
2:07
you've got split page infinite scroll
2:09
individual page infinite scroll they
2:11
also took the style template and color
2:13
and moved that to the bottom now it's
2:15
just page and template some of these
2:16
things from color were combined on this
2:18
one you've got layout you see now you've
2:20
got some different options the scroll
2:23
direction also has been changed sort of
2:25
the layout and then color which used to
2:27
be over here has been moved it's the
2:29
same options though as before and then
2:31
with template you've got the same
2:33
templates you know that you had before
2:34
and you can do custom templates and here
2:37
is it's listed as downloaded you can see
2:39
here you can add those right there here
2:41
you can add a custom template and there
2:43
you'll be able to download them so
2:44
you've got images you've also got PDFs
2:46
down here at the bottom there you can
2:48
see the page and template there at the
2:50
bottom this piece so you can see there's
2:51
a couple different ways you can do this
2:53
um in terms of you know the template
2:55
style but these were both there before
2:58
it's not like it's anything specifically
3:00
you know groundbreaking they just
3:01
reorganized some of the UI here in the
3:04
default style the next thing that's also
3:06
new is you have a brand new customize
3:08
your toolbar so down here the old
3:10
version you just had toolbar i'm don't
3:12
try to tap this with the Sen it's the S
3:13
Pen for the other device here i'm going
3:15
to keep doing that probably here you've
3:17
got all the different toolbar add-ons
3:18
right here but with this one you now
3:20
have more control if you tap customize
3:22
toolbar there's all this stuff you can
3:24
add so you've got a lot of these things
3:26
over here you can see laser pointer
3:27
handwriting help lock canvas all that
3:30
stuff is over here you know autofix
3:31
shapes change style spin to text all
3:34
these things are here clean up
3:35
handwriting but you've also got undo and
3:37
redo as well so what you'll be able to
3:39
do is you can go here and you can go
3:41
ahead and edit these is you can drag
3:43
things up drag things away if you don't
3:45
want them you see the general menu that
3:47
you have there and then you can preview
3:50
what the to the toolbar looks like up
3:52
there at the top so you'll be able to
3:53
drag tools below the line to remove them
3:56
so if you drag them below this line it's
3:58
going to remove one of those tools but
4:00
you can see here I've got undo redo all
4:02
the eventual tools that I want so
4:04
essentially all these are kind of there
4:06
by default you can get rid of some of
4:08
them if you don't want the toolbar to be
4:09
quite as cluttered it's definitely nice
4:11
to have this option that you can get rid
4:12
of some of these tools and it's a little
4:14
bit cleaner than the overall toolbar
4:16
add-on menu that they had before let's
4:19
go into the notes uh settings themselves
4:22
if we go into the actual notes if we go
4:24
into the notes now we have this brand
4:27
new option for turning on the math
4:29
solver you can see that did not exist
4:32
over here they've also changed add to
4:34
share notebook to share note and you can
4:37
do this as a single note or add to
4:39
shared notebook the other things here
4:41
haven't really changed very much but
4:42
those things did change if you go in
4:44
here and turn on the math solver what
4:46
this will allow you to do is solve
4:48
various math equations so if you go in
4:50
here turn on your spin writing and you
4:53
do of 7 equals it'll then take the
4:55
square root of 7 and solve that for you
4:58
you can cut copy paste delete change
5:00
style you can convert this to math
5:02
actually as well you can see right here
5:04
although if you look at this it
5:06
incorrectly does this as the square root
5:09
of one which obviously we know is not
5:12
2.646 um that this math solver is not
5:15
great um first of all it makes mistakes
5:18
like this converting it but again I
5:19
guess I did draw a pretty bad one here
5:21
let's see if I could do another one
5:23
that's a little bit better let's see if
5:25
I do square roo of four it does you know
5:28
it does it correctly and it does it does
5:30
convert it correctly for things if you
5:31
do a pretty nice job writing I suppose
5:33
um I will say though it doesn't really
5:36
solve any mathematics you know beyond
5:38
basic arithmetic if you even do a basic
5:40
algebra equation like x+ 4= 7 it's not
5:44
going to solve that so helping with your
5:45
algebra or calculus it's not going to do
5:47
any of that for you but it can do basic
5:50
arithmetic and you see here that all the
5:52
options it does provide you with uh
5:54
aside from that option there you also
5:56
have turn off math solver directly the
5:58
only thing is once you click out of that
6:00
menu all you can really do is erase it
6:03
you really can't do the you know all the
6:05
options it tells you like convert to
6:06
math those seem to disappear uh after
6:09
you've already used the math solver so
6:11
in my opinion as an exmath professor the
6:13
math solver could use a lot of work it's
6:15
the same issue that I noticed on the
6:17
tablets when it first came out doesn't
6:19
do very complicated math it also when
6:20
you convert it to the math you know type
6:22
setting it doesn't do a great job unless
6:24
you have perfect handwriting which you
6:26
know not everybody does now there's a
6:28
couple of other things too if you go to
6:30
search you'll notice there's new filters
6:32
here you see over here you've got no
6:33
filters yesterday past 7 days past 30
6:36
voice recorder or title uh and also
6:38
recent tags if you have any recent tags
6:40
over there uh otherwise these are just
6:42
search settings over here and you can
6:44
see there the recent tags can be
6:46
included there as well here you've got
6:48
the same searches as well you just now
6:50
have those filters now I did notice one
6:52
other feature as I was about to make
6:54
this video if you go up here and hit the
6:56
plus sign in a new note PDF voice
6:58
recording image camera scan audio file
7:02
drawing and now a new one at the bottom
7:04
sticky note so now you can add a sticky
7:06
note down here and you can add that
7:09
directly into your note before exporting
7:12
it so this is pretty cool looks like
7:14
this is a new feature as well inside of
7:16
the new Samsung Notes so I think the
7:18
biggest draw here is probably going to
7:20
be the math solver but like I said if
7:22
you're in college or high school and
7:23
you're taking anything algebra and above
7:25
I don't know if you should get too
7:26
excited but also a nice UI redesign and
7:28
some improvements and of course Samsung
7:29
is continues to improve their apps which
7:31
is what we like to see anyway I'm
7:33
curious what you guys think do you think
7:34
some of these features are useful
7:36
hopefully they'll expand some of the
7:37
math solving capability as we go on
7:39
maybe into some more of that advanced
7:40
math which will help some students in
7:42
college and high school etc again check
7:44
out the website if you guys are
7:45
interested if you're ordering an
7:46
upcoming Galaxy device make sure you do
7:48
check out the Mystery Box program all
7:50
those phones upcoming and of course the
7:52
S26 series which is still a ways away
7:54
but you can go ahead and get in very
7:56
very early if you're interested in that
7:57
appreciate you guys check out this video
7:58
and of course I'll see you in the next
8:00
one thanks much for watching
