Samsung S-Pen finally solves the problem prey on the Galaxy … – Tudocelular.com

When the Galaxy Note 5 was launched last year, it was quick to arise a problem that has become the subject of much news. The failure caused the phablet could be damaged to be inserted S-Pen on the wrong side. At the time, it was recommended that the user needed only a piece of paper to safely lift the sensor holding the S-Pen and then pull the accessory to reinsert it in the right way, had it placed on the wrong side by accident.

With so many complaints, Samsung started to send the Galaxy Note 5 with a film on the screen that alerts you to the risk of damaging the device if the S-Pen is inserted the wrong way. Enter your wrong way of S-Pen can leave it stuck and damage the pen and your phone, Samsung said the warning label. All the controversy ended up winning a term called pen-gate, something that has become standard when we see manufacturing defects involve major releases in the smartphone market.

According to an anonymous source who contacted the site Phandroid, Samsung has made a small change on the main board of the Galaxy Note 5 that finally solves this problem. The switch, which you can see on the left in the picture above, has a grayish white tab that appears to have been designed to allow you to safely eject the S-Pen when it is inserted on the wrong side.

It seems that this may be an outer cover part that fits over the original design. The source said the change actually works very well, despite the fact that it is apparently connected with a piece of duct tape – which shows a good amateur solution, but efficient. In the previous design (to the right in the image) shows the small black tab that you see in the right motherboard, which does not offer this security.

It is a pity that Samsung has taken so long to fix the problem, since the Galaxy Note 5 is now completing six months of launch, but at least they are doing something about it (even if your only motivation is to reduce the amount of complaints). Unfortunately, we do not know if the ‘corrected’ version came here and have no way of knowing if the model you buy is immune to the problem, since it would need to be tested in practice, which can be risky.
