The Samsung Galaxy Tab A w/ S Pen (SM-P550) is by and large identical to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 (SM-T550) without digitizer, apart from from having 0.5 GB more RAM at 2GB, weighing 37 grams more at 487 grams, and costing about $100 more. Those differences aside the particular main difference lies in the integrated S Pen digitizer and the apps and support for the pen.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 With S Pen was launched in Taiwan on April 27. Having an S Pen digitizer means more than just having the ability to handwrite notes, emails, and making sketches. It can also be used like it was a mouse, since this is one of the functions the pen has been given if you want to drag and drop, cut and paste, or highlight something you are reading.
