It seems that Samsung has done a blunder design with the recent Galaxy Note 5 , the phablet heir of Note 4. As usual for these devices, this new model has a stylus S Pen with a dedicated housing in the body.
The problem is that if distraction puts on the S Pen on the contrary, there is a risk of permanently damage the device . By using this type of smartphone you know that it can also happen very often, but it is usually a distraction without consequences.

Android Police says that instead with the notes 5, if you put the stylus on the contrary the eject mechanism may lock . It can, with some effort, pull out the stylus, but the damaged mechanism also leads to a malfunction of the software combined.
It seems that it is pure luck : The Notes 5 could continue to respond properly, and automatically activate the software when you estrare and storing the stylus, or be damaged permanently.
“It is important to note,” adds Ron Amadeo on Ars Technica, “that the S Pen can enter the wrong effortlessly . The nib is the same shape throughout its length, that makes it as easy as inserting the correct one wrong. “
A mistake that we all did some time, as it happens to insert a pendrive to the contrary (at least until the arrival of the USB-C). A little something from nothing that could irreparably damage a very expensive device, and does not mean that Samsung fix it under warranty – technically is damage caused by user misuse. It is reasonable to expect that the company repair the damage without question, but we can not put my finger on it.
For now anyway does not seem to be a widespread problem , and of course Samsung has little time to review the design of the products that will sell in the future. If and when the Notes 5 will arrive in Europe, therefore, there should be no problem. Remains an oversight rather coarse by the company, especially for an object that represents the cutting edge of its offer.
