Okay, let's talk about this shiny little origami phone. First off, the FlexCam is *chef's kiss*. No more awkward arm angles for group pics—Galaxy AI just frames everything perfectly. I felt like a paparazzi pro at brunch last weekend.
But here's the tea: that hinge noise? Yeah, it started making weird crinkly sounds after 3 months. Then BAM—black screen of death on Christmas Eve. Nothing kills holiday cheer like a $1,200 paperweight dialing 911 on its own.
Warranty process? A nightmare. Samsung asked me 47 times if I'd dropped it (I hadn't) and the repair shop refused to touch it because of a tiny screen dent. Pro tip: BUY THE INSURANCE. And take timestamped photos of your flawless phone weekly.
When it works? Magic. The live translator saved me in Tokyo, and folding it shut still gives me 2005 flip phone nostalgia. But that screen reliability... girl. My backup iPhone 12 is side-eyeing me hard.
Final verdict? It's the tech equivalent of dating a supermodel with commitment issues. Gorgeous, innovative, but might ghost you randomly. 3.5/5 stars—would recommend but with *heavy* caveats.
