      I'd buy one if I could find one in the USA if they made them available. But only to S.Korea & China markets?
      Feel like I'm missing the boat.

        Hard pass, still no good, wait yet again for another year 2025 maybe lol.
        Samsung needs to increase the battery size that has been the same since Fold 4 and S-pen support. Honor Magic v3 supports S-pen and has bigger battery, thinner, lighter, fast charging and faster wireless charging & more durable (GSMArena washing machine test).
        Samsung really needs to wake up and upgrade its hardware significantly with its minor Yr to Yr iteration.

          DarlingYext, 21 Oct 2024"..Android 14 with Galaxy AI. Samsung will bring 7 yea... moreeven if youre willing to count it as 6 years of os updates (+19 months of security), its still pretty solid.

              the fact they still don't have a 10 bit display in their phones tho

                Just me, 21 Oct 2024Lmao. This is bluetooth pen not passive one like Samsung�... moreYou seem to be lacking some technical foundations: of course the active pens require and use digitizers, this is how they can detect the precise location of the pen. Otherwise, the Apple Pencil would work with iPhones as well (but it doesn't, they cannot detect the pen). Active vs Passive here refers to how they connect to the device and recharge, with the Samsung using, truly, Wacom's magnetic field tech in its digitizer and requiring no charging, as the screen itself provides, in the near field, the power for the pen, while the others need charging to function. It doesn't mean the active ones are like the old basic passive ones which are thick to imitate your finger - they are as precise and require the digitizer layer inside screens to work. Also, when I said "same as S Pen" I referred to the levels of pressure: 4096 - there is a small "-" next to that specific term of the enumeration. Next time do your research first.

This pen doesnt need extra digitizer to be used, this pen need bluetooth connection and battery to be used, unlike S pen this doesn't need to be charged to work. And for my experience bluetooth pens are not as accurate as the passive ones like S pen.
                    Even apple pen is not as good imo.

                          Yaay 7 years of support on a device with a soon to be outdated version of Android, but hey at least it has AI !

                                      I am not happy while i am the owner of Z fold 6 which i bought when it was launched. Now in two months they are coming up with the special edition. Why Samsung is it not the betrayal to the existing customer who trusted in you as a Brand. After seeing the specifications of Special Edition i feel like cheated by Samsung. I am loosing the trust in Samsung after this I feel like I wasted my money. I would have better waited for the special edition. Shame on you Samsung.
