Performance Result
The very first question that comes to my mind… Will Adonit Snap stays attached to my smartphone firmly? In short, yes. You get the best result by attach it to metal back cover (or plate) directly. I still manage to get it attached to my smartphone with casing (metal plate inside the case). Of course, the magnetic force is not as strong as direct contact. But still getting the job done here.
It is really easy to pair Snap to smartphone through Bluetooth. And the Bluetooth range is great. Exceeds 10m Bluetooth range in straight sight line with no obstacle. Yes, you can take selfie and wefie easily with the help of the Snap’s shutter button. Attach your smartphone to tripod and it will bring your photography experience to another level. By the way, you can take burst photos with double click and hold down the shutter button too. However, it is available on iOS devices only.
Adonit Snap can last for several days on casual usage. This is possible thanks to automatically shut off after inactivity feature. Yup, a great power saving here. Personally, I did not use it non-stop but based on specs it should last for 7 hours on continuous usage. And the LED light indicator will start to flash red twice when power is low. Flash 3 times when totally ran out of power. As for charging, it took around 1 hour to fully charge here.
Adonit Snap works on every capacitive touchscreen devices with no special software is required. Yup, all your existing applications for sketching, note taking and drawing will work just fine with it. Since it is a battery powered stylus, you can use it while wearing glove. And working fine on screen protector that I use. Handles offset fairly well too. Therefore, I can draw on the position that I want precisely. Glides smoothly on my devices by the way. And does not have the loud tapping sound on glass like previous generation Pixelpoint tip. Furthermore, its lightweight makes it easier to hold and write. Alright, do check out below video for all Snap’s features and abilities…
