Samsung's New S Pens Have Lingering Rubbery Scent, But Likely Unnoticeable in Normal Use
- Samsung's new S Pens have an unpleasant rubbery odor compared to the Note 20 Ultra's S Pen
- The smell comes from a new rubbery coating added for better grip vs the Note 20's glossy finish
- The scent likely fades with heavy use but persists even after 2 years of light use
- The odor is only noticeable if you actively sniff the S Pen up close
- Ultimately the smell shouldn't impact most users unless highly sensitive, as it's unnoticeable in normal use
