Absolutely correct! This didn’t fall far, and definitely didn’t de-orbit. I would hold it for a ransom of say, a big screen OLED and top-of-the-line appliances.
If this was a Nokia 3310 Satellite, I’d be less sceptical regarding its relatively undamaged condition.

@Crackpot-Jackpot Welcome aboard. I really like your name.
I don’t think anything carried aloft by balloon can properly be referred to as a ‘satellite’. Beacon, transmitter, relay, repeater - maybe one of these were the terms you were looking for? Oh yeah, sensationalizing! Sorry, I forgot.
Samsung doesn’t make OLEDs and are still pushing their QLED nonsense meant to trick consumers.
I will say that the satellite appears to be holding up much better than Samsung’s other tech products.
I had the same thought. It’s clearly just a satellite mock-up (of about the quality and realism you’d expect in a suburban mall display or as a theatrical prop made by non-technically-minded but competent high schoolers), and using the word satellite unmodified is not just deceptive, it’s totally untrue. It’s annoying that marketing lies like this apparently work.
it’s wrong to wish on space hardware
And why does a sat need legs? Is there a space bar we don’t know about yet?
Cory, please consider correcting the headline? This is obviously not a satellite in any sense of the word…
Samsung heard that Apple was planning to launch a satellite, so they did what they usually do: make a cheap rip-off of it as quickly and cheaply as possible!
Believe me, you do NOT want to live in interesting times…
Reviewer probably peeled off the plastic layer. Someday they’ll get that pesky Fold working!
Because Samsung.
History Channel: ALIEN SPACESHIP crashes in family’s yard. It was…ALIENS! I am now selling all movie rights about horse being saved from aliens. Get at me movie studios!
The SF Examiner offered $10,000 in 1979 for the first person to bring them a piece of Skylab. Might be worth trying to hit them up for a few bucks.
Maybe Larry Walters got a sponsorship deal?
