There's a new hullabaloo over the stylus on Samsung's brand new Galaxy Note 5 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/samsung-galaxy-note-5-hands-on-preview/), as first noticed by an Android Central (http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-note-5-pro-tip-insert-s-pen-pointy-end-first)forum user. Up until now, every previous (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/15/samsung-galaxy-note-4-review/) Note model was designed so that the stylus couldn't be inserted blunt-end first. However, the Note 5's pen goes in either way, and doing it wrong could have dire consequences. The original poster, "FrogVomit (http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5/569378-don-t-put-your-pen-backwards.html)," said that "there was no forcing whatsoever" when he accidentally inserted the pen blunt-end first, though he had to pull hard to get it back out. The result? The pen removal detection broke permanently.
