Hello Mike, thank you for asking us your question about the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+. The advertised Galaxy Tab A11+ is not compatible with the Galaxy S Pen, however, it is compatible with active capacitive styluses for note-taking, though these usually lack pressure sensitivity and palm rejection so resting your hand on the display while writing or drawing is not possible. If you have any other questions for us or if you'd like further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Support. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer. - Debra
