  value: AI-forward flagship with selective excellence — where software intelligence compensates for hardware compromises.
additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Thermal throttling data during gaming; HiLight’s intended functionality or design intent; Battery impact of sustained Magic Capture usage
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines authoritative reviewer credibility (Wired), vivid metaphor ('pure magic'), and contrast framing ('but...') to elevate AI features disproportionately relative to their validation — creating a perception of AI superiority that outruns the article’s own limited technical evidence, especially given the absence of objective metrics or failure analysis.
