The new Galaxy Note5 units allow you to insert the S-Pen backwards and pull it out easily.

        Out of topic !!!
        my note 5 battery life is 16 to 17 hours with 4 n half hour of screen on time. gaming for 1 hour(clash of clan), web browsing 1 hour. calling 2 hours. wifi is always on.
        IS THIS GOOD?
        i have seen some people saying they get more than one day of battery life with 8 hours screen on time.

          and for us who are carefull and have a phone like new. can we upgrade it to the new model, free ? as a support for old costumers ?

              AnonD-404798, 18 Jan 2016nice :) but seriously only a retard could insert S-pen b... moreSamsung employs aggressive ram management except always active background app no other app is kept active for long time. Hence comparison test on YouTube show that apps constantly reopen. And about lag I personally didn't experienced any on my Dad's phone. It's lot smoother than Note 4

                        nice :)

                        but seriously only a retard could insert S-pen backwards.

                        It would be much better if they fix ram and lag issues note5 has.
