Why do you need a smartphone stylus?
If you’ve never thought about opting for a phone with a stylus, now might be the time to reconsider. Here are five reasons why…
1. More accuracy for fewer errors
Sure, your fingers do the job – but let’s be honest, they’re not the perfect shape and size for delicate tasks. A smartphone stylus, on the other hand, is. That’s what it’s been designed for.
The smaller tips on a stylus gives you greater precision, from choosing documents and files to typing on your onscreen keyboard. It might take some getting used to, but once you do, you’ll find that you’re making fewer mistakes during your day-to-day usage.
2. A cleaner screen
There’s nothing worse than a grubby screen, especially if you like watching movies on your phone. Unfortunately, fingers smudge phone screens. Using a stylus doesn’t.
Also, using a stylus lets you see what you’re doing on-screen more clearly, while your fingers will typically obscure more of it.
3. Be speedier on your smartphone
You can do things quicker with a stylus. Sometimes selecting a block of text to cut and paste can be a bit of a faff. That’s why you’ll appreciate how much more accurate and speedy it becomes with a stylus. Plus, you can whizz through menus and jot down quick handwritten notes when time is of the essence.
4. Master the big screen, better
Got a larger screen than you’re usually used to? You can easily navigate around, even if you’ve got smaller hands. If you’re fed up of trying to stretch your fingers to the edge of your display, it could be time to put your stylus to work instead.
5. Set your inner artist free
Drawing, sketching and creating artwork on your smartphone is near impossible with your fingers. A stylus makes a huge difference, and gives you more control of brush strokes. You’ll be able to add the kind of fine detail that just isn’t possible with your fingers.
Editing photos and videos is another thing you’ll be able to do more accurately with a stylus. It’s the perfect tool for precise tasks like selecting individual pixels.
