Bought a fp 5 lately. It's a quality nightmare. Has a bug regarding 'fluid in usb port' error message. Consequence: phone does not charge. Phone is brand new. Google the bug. Turns out a hundreds of other users reported the bug already 9 months back via fp user forum. Nothing has happened. They just let it rot.

Sent it to repair. Got it back with the same bug again. Have had all fp models in the past. Was okay happy, but my fp journey ends here. I think the company has serious problems.

To be fair my current Samsung Galaxy fold 6 has the same message all the time. So did my previous Xperia 5 mk iii. I feel certain chargers were more likely to give that message. Certainly faulty hardware somewhere.
