A capacitive stylus is the simplest kind of touchscreen pen. Its tip conducts, so the screen feels it just as it feels a finger, and it works on any phone or tablet with a touchscreen. It suits anyone who finds small buttons fiddly, wants to keep fingerprints off the glass, or prefers holding a pen for a signature or a quick sketch.
A phone or tablet screen is a capacitive screen. It feels the tiny electrical charge your bare fingertip draws at the spot you touch. Anything that does not conduct, such as plastic, wood or an ordinary glove, does nothing at all. Every pen and glove in this department works by giving the screen something it can feel.
On a simple pen, the tip has to be broad enough for the screen to register it, which is why it is usually a soft rounded rubber or fibre tip rather than a sharp point. It is also why such a pen never needs charging: the screen does the work, and the pen only carries the touch.
Think about what you will do with it. For tapping, scrolling and swiping, any soft tip will do, and a pen that also writes on paper earns its place in a pocket. For handwriting on screen, a broad tip feels vague, and a fine-tipped battery pen is a better choice. Look at the weight and grip too: a metal barrel feels more like a real pen, while a light one is easier to carry.
If you write mostly on a tablet, see tablet stylus pens. To keep using a phone with cold hands, touchscreen gloves may suit you better than a pen.
Yes, on any phone or tablet with a touchscreen, iPhone and Android alike. It works through ordinary screen protectors too.
Because the screen needs to feel enough of the tip to register a touch. A hard, narrow point on a pen with no battery is simply too small to be felt.
A simple capacitive pen has no battery and never needs charging. The rechargeable pen in this range does, by USB-C.
