  • It doesn’t sound like just a translation, but at least a complete stylistic rewrite (as it uses AI-typical phrases and is just too slick).

    And seeing the effort OP is expending on interacting with the community in their own post (none), I strongly suspect the post to also be a minimal effort thing, so probably giving the AI five scribbled keywords and the prompt “Write a forum post in English based on this”.

    That is not so easy to achieve, and no context given on how and why specifically this happened, but a bunch of generic stuff instead.

    And profile link leads to some fishy AI-generated site trying to sell some Temu-tech-gimmick-crap.

    No, I am now even more sure the post is 99% AI slop and 1% minimal effort marketing.

    Not quite as high as your drop, only perhaps 20m height, but it hit rock outcroppings halfway down, disassembling it in the process, with phone, battery and back-cover spreading over a wide area.
    We finally found a way to get down to the bottom of the quarry, there it took us some time to locate all the seriously scratched and tended parts between the rocks.
    Assembled it without much hope, but turned on again without complaint.
    A hell of a phone, almost full metal casing, hardened quartz glass outer display, massive metal hinges and inner skeleton.

    This is a picture of the phone type, an elegant phone from a more civilized age:
