Korean community post, image 2: Left: the intact Fold 8.

English translation

Left: the intact Fold 8. Right: his foot, toe in a cast, in a sandal.

(사진: 왼쪽은 갤럭시 폴드 8 스마트폰, 오른쪽은 발가락에 붕대를 감고 초록색 샌들을 신은 발)

💡 So the phone's fine and the toe isn't?

The joke is the reversal — 'review' setup makes you expect the phone broke, but the cast is on his foot, not the device.vs. Reddit: like a 'durability test' post where the tester ends up more damaged than the product.Klore note

There's a guy who cracked his nose bone dropping his phone on his face, so with that drop height this makes sense

The human body heals over time, but the phone doesn't.

But if it gets bad enough to need surgery, that'll cost more than the phone itself
근데 수술 해야 되는 수준으로 가면 폰 가격보다 많이 나가버림
