Galaxy S24 Ultra owners complain about the stench from the S Pen stylus. Samsung assures that it is normal

We've seen plenty of reviews and feedback on Samsung's flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S Pen stylus that the smartphone comes with. Except that no one has sniffed it. Until now.

One user complained on the forum that his stylus has an unpleasant odour of burning plastic. Other users supported him and confirmed that the S Pen does indeed stink.

Meanwhile, owners of previous Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra models also note the same problem. At the same time, the unpleasant odour, according to them, does not affect the operation of the smartphone and stylus in any way.

A Samsung forum moderator urges not to worry about it and says it's normal. He offered a reasonable explanation for the odour:

""This isn’t anything to be concerned about. While the S Pen is in its holster, it is close to the internal components of the phone, which will generate heat while in use, and cause the plastic to heat up. This can smell like burning, but it is similar to the smell you might experience after leaving your car in the sun for a few hours. The seats and plastic fittings in the vehicle might smell hot, but this will diminish after it cools""
