"Samsung Addresses Complaints About Smelly S Pen in Galaxy S24 Ultra"

TL;DR Summary
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra users have reported that the S-Pen stylus emits a strong, unpleasant odor resembling burning plastic, prompting discussions on online forums. Some users liken the smell to that of an electrical fire or overheating motor. While a Samsung employee explained that the smell is due to the pen's proximity to internal components generating heat, others have humorously suggested reasons for the odor, including the addition of a bitterant. Despite the smell, users have confirmed that the S-Pen tastes fine, and the issue does not appear to be a cause for major concern.
