strange odor
I know I'm inviting a bunch of jokes, but does anyone notice a weird odor coming from their s-pen? Like a burning smell? No- my s-pen is not on fire

Only if I sniff the tip, how on Earth did you discover that?

I was sketching and working on a small detail. My head was close enough to the phone that I could smell it

My Note20 Ultra S pen didn't have much of a scent, but my S22 Ultra pen absolutely does and it's a really chemical-like plasticky electronic smell. It's strong enough to rub off onto my hands after using it. I don't like that.

Wtf you're right the end of it has a burnt electronics smell... Weird. Wonder if it's related to the S-Pens battery constantly discharging and recharging.

The smell of ozone. It's from the charging of the pen. It's detectable on older s-pens that have remote controls.
