Can I use a stylus on a touch screen phone?

1 Answer

Answer :

If its a capacitive screen (like the iphone) then no, it requires electrical input, like that from your skin. If its a resistive screen (like most mobile windows phones) then yes, all you need is pressure. Try using any random object like a pen, if it doesn’t work you have yourself a capacitive screen. There might be might styluses made specifically for capacitive screen but I’m not too sure about that.
