Now that the One UI 8.5 Beta is over, it seems that Samsung has found yet another way to p*ss me off.

Do any of you have experience with the Z Fold 6?
I don't know why, but I feel drawn back to the big screen and S Pen functionality of the Z Fold 6, which is the last model that supports the S Pen. It still has 5 more years of software support; and I found one, unlocked with 512GB storage, that had the screen replaced in December, for less than $700.
I'd sold my Z Fold 4 because it was too thick for a couple of phone holders on things I really don't use much these days. As a result, I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on this purchase. I can get the phone, plus the S Pen Fold Edition, plus an S Pen-capable case, for about $725. I'll keep the S24 Ultra for photos/videos (and as a "just in case" spare), but I'd love to hear from any of you here who have some experience with the Z Fold 6.
UPDATE:
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it, so I hope my love affair with foldables is rekindled. If not, I can likely get my money back out of it selling it. The beauty of buying a used foldable is that their value plummets as soon as the box is opened. They depreciate faster than just about any other tech out there.

Another update: my new Z Fold 6 is out for delivery... which isn't the best timing since we have to get on the road today for a VFW Convention in Pigeon Forge. Now we have to wait, hoping the UPS driver gets here on the early side of the delivery window so we can roll. That means I won't even be able to play with it until we get back! Heck, I might take it with me and put on the screen protectors, case and S Pen during my downtime; then do all the Smart Switch transfers over and move the SIM card after we get home. Now to think of a name for her...
I have finally set up my Z Fold 6 (her name is Jennifer) and she's a dream. Fingerprint scanner in the power button: remember that??? And the Fold 6 S Pen is only about twice the size of the S Ultra S Pen... much smaller than the Fold 4 S Pen. I have screen protectors and the S Pen case on it and, so far, she has performed admirably. I can't speak to battery life since I've spent the whole day setting it up, signing into accounts, connecting everything... but I'm so far very happy with the purchase.
