The perfect device, no matter the type or brand, does not exist. Let them tell Steve Jobs with #antennagate or Tim Cook with #bendgate. The termination "gate" has its roots in the American scandal "Watergate" and is often used when a large company is splattered by any type of scandal, such as the cases of the iPhone 4, which lost its coverage when it was taken in a certain way , or the iPhone 6, which can be folded sooner than we would like. The last one to get on the gate train is the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
In social networks, it is already known as #pengate a design flaw with which the last phablet of the South Korean company arrives. The fault is not that it makes it heat up, or that its parts come off or anything like that. The problem is that the Note 5's stylus may be mis-inserted in the hole where we keep it once we just used it. In previous models, this was not possible as, when trying to return it to its place in the wrong position, the stylus simply did not fit. So what is the problem?
The failure would not be serious if it was only to put the stylus wrong. The problem is that the Note 5 arrives with the S-Pen well hidden flush with the bezel. When we want to remove it we just have to press lightly that area so that the stylus makes a small jump to come out just enough so that we can grasp it with our fingers and, if we put it backwards, this mechanism will stop working. Once incorrectly inserted, to remove it we will have to use an extra force that completely breaks the detection system.
The S-Pen detection function is designed to launch various applications or menu systems when the stylus is removed and also turns the screen on and off, since the device understands that if you take out the S-Pen it is to use it. All this stops working if we insert the stylus upside down and take it out again. It is actually a problem that has an easy solution: do not insert the S-Pen incorrectly.
Samsung has yet to comment on anything on the design flaw of the Note 5. If you asked me what Samsung should do, I would tell you that they should replace the S-Pen to all those customers who have bought a Note 5 and so request. The S-Pen is one of the strengths of the Samsung phablet and I don't think anyone likes to lose features that are paramount on this device. Anyway, I see two options: if it is not officially recognized, we can always make use of the guarantee while it is in force. We will simply say that the device has stopped working as it should. The other option is to have it officially recognized, so they will have to offer a solution.
"The failure would not be recorded if it were just misplacing the stylus." What is serious is reading according to spelling mistakes ...
Hi Joan. I consider it more serious that small mistakes to human beings are not tolerated. You could warn and not try to denigrate, which is what your comment does. As you know, the B is close to the V and the finger can go. You should understand that. On the other hand, to criticize the spelling mistakes you should put the statement "yes" with an accent on the "i".
A greeting and thanks for reading.
I put it as a joke, I'm sorry it made you feel bad, I had to use the word SERIOUS to make it funny. Excuse the accent, it is true that at the level of GRAVITY the misspelling is comparable ...
Ah, then okay. I'm not as serious as I can appear 😉 If it was a warning, I apologize. It is already corrected. Thanks.
Hahahaha
And I say… !; this design error that you have?… it is normal that the SPen can only get in one way, right? Unless they invent a reversible SPen and in that case Samsung.
To understand what I mean: if you invent a connector that can only be plugged in one way, there is no use trying to plug it in differently.
Hello Daniel. I perfectly understand what you mean, but in the case that you comment, keep in mind that there are no plugs that can be put wrong. As an example, the USB. If you try, you won't get it. The 30-pin, the USB 3… they can all be inserted only one way or, otherwise, like the lightning, it is reversible so that this does not happen.
A greeting.
Ah I already caught it xD !; what they mean is that there is no notch or something like that where he touches and it is seen that it cannot be inserted ...
No, let's see, if he has things to know if he is on the right or on the reverse. The problem is that this type of accessory is used as if it were a pen, okay? You have a notebook with a pen attached to it, and when you go to use it, you take it out quickly and put it back in quickly, all with automated movements. If you are going to put the wrong pen, it will surely fall to the ground.
In the case of the note, imagine that you want to take it out quickly, take a note and put it in quickly. In previous models, when trying to put it you couldn't because it was (said quickly and wrongly) as if you were trying to put a triangle in the hole of a square. You would notice, you turned it and you put it right. In the case of the Note 5, if you make a mistake, you will put it. The problem will be when removing it, that you will break the system mentioned in the article.
A greeting.
I edit to comment that if you were referring to the hole, exactly. There is no notch or anything there.
Well, it is just what I was referring to! I already caught what they mean, because there is nothing (in the game) that prevents you from putting it wrong.
So if that is a little arrow engraved on the plastic indicating the direction to put the Pen and that's it ...
Pos for me of design error nothing of na !; For something l SPen can only get in one way, right? If it weren't the case, I suppose Samsung would say it is reversible ...
failure? hahaha try to connect the charger upside down and then when it breaks blame the manufacturer hahaha
I love ios and android both alike, but that is not a failure if it is made to enter it only in one way, so do not try to do it the other way around, greetings
YES it is a SERIOUS failure. If it were made to be entered only in one way, it could NOT be entered in another. Have you tried plugging the USB backwards? You can't right? because that IS meant to introduce it in a way. And NO, you don't love ios and android alike, you pull towards android and samsung like goats pull the mountain
O nl glass rather than already little plastic .. hehe
If you have a bug that traces or plagiarizes Apple designs ...
If we go they are identical ... Where did Apple get the iPhone 6 plus? It is a copy of Samsung's note range because according to them they would never make a phone with such large screens

Morons with these notes!
They want to find a fault with the SAMSUNG.
THE S PEN IS NOT REVERSIBLE, IF SAMSUNG PROMOTES IT AS REVERSIBLE THEN DO IT ON ORDER.
how many people limited by god
The truth is, I think this page has a bite with everything that has to do with Samsung, it is supposed to be a page for things that have to do with Apple, but what I see are almost always bad criticisms of everything that is not Apple. I personally think that they are more fans of Samsung than Apple because they do not stop mentioning Samsung
Let's face it, phablets officially died with the Note 3. Now there are only cheap phablets and big screen cell phones that try to be phablets.
This is what happens when the design of the phone is done by four monkeys.

I say the same thing that I have answered in the thousands of PRO apple websites that have rejoiced in this news, for a change they live with the obsession of Samsung, they do not know how to talk about anything else because it is their closed ecosystem they have been repeating themselves for 4 years and making phones only changing the design keeping the rest.
I said this, I will say that, I am a user of EVERYONE note, I have had all of them, and never, I NEVER repeat! I have tried to put it inside out, not even unintentionally, not by accident, or to take it out and put it in quickly as a friend says above.
Therefore, this model, although it does allow inserting it upside down, would not be a problem for me since in 4 years I have never done it even by accident, by the way the apple's mouths are filled with drool when they say DESIGN FAILURE! !! SAMSUNG ERROR !! I believe that it is not an error, since the manuals warn you of this case, therefore it is not a design error, it is the design that it has, it will be better or worse but it is like that, period, and the possibilities of putting it into the The reverse is the same as inadvertently brushing your teeth with the other end of the brush, or cutting the steak with the handle, only the fanboys exaggerate everything.

@Juan: Why do you make so much trouble? Don't worry! You insult and call those who like Apple products fanboys and you're not too far behind eh !.
Look, this is very simple: The day that Samsung makes a cell phone call galaxy, note, etc. With your own operating system and sell what apple (no doubt whether you copy or not) then, that day we talk, while you continue with your tantrum.
This is actualidad iPhone
It is clear that if you do not know how to put it, do not get a note, continue with an iphone.
