The new Samsung Notes app will let you capture scribbles and audio simultaneously. That means you can return to the note later, tap on something you’ve written and immediately jump to the appropriate point in the audio recording.

Still, it should be a welcome addition for people who carry a Galaxy Note phone and want a complete record of their classes or work meetings.
According to Samsung, the Notes app will automatically straighten your handwriting and keep everything organized in a new, simplified folder system. You’ll also be able to annotate and highlight PDF files without downloading any extra software. All of these features will be available on the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra smartphones, as well as Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ tablets when they launch later this year.
