P.S. Yes you do need to replace the compressor fan on the bottom of the fridge when it goes bad after 4-5 years. 5 minutes work for a $40 part, maybe occasionally vacuuming the accumulated dust on the cooling fins.
Doors does NOT open 180degrees needing more free space in the front of the fridge.
Door shelf position isn't very flexible and the lip is SO high that it isn't very convenient.
The regular shelves are not designed to trap liquid so if you spill anything on top shelf, it will trickle down to bottom shelf and removing glass from bottom shelf isn't easy either (almost feels like you have to break the plastic frame to get the glass out and if you don't take glass out, then liquid will still be trapped under the glass).
My 15yr old GE fridge had liquid trapping glass shelf so this is backwards for a refrigerator that is considered "premium".

another very common complaint is about their frozen defrost line. they seem to be a design flaw which they not interested in solving as part of their 'planned obsolesce'.samsung is high in technology but low on reliability. every single fridge repair man i had come cross (who came to fix my fridge) rolled up their eyes when they saw samsung brand.

I used to have a French door fridge with pull out freezer on bottom and refused to get that type again. Having the extra doors for the freezer (1 or 2 compartment) was what I really wanted for easy access and less chance of ice layer developing as I did have under the pull out freezer.
The fridge portion is extremely roomy.
I chose this version over that with the Beverage center as the extra $300-400 wasn't truly necessary or worth it for me at this time.
Time will tell if this was a smart choice but thus far happy with the decision.

Before you purchase the new fan, open the back of the fridge and check out the fan. Make sure it looks the same as the replacement, and verify that the noise is from that fan. You can also check to see if it's struggling to spin. Replace the fan before it fails will save you a lot of agony and money.
The evaporator fan inside the fridge won't make such a loud sound when it's failing, but just in case, it's this one, also easy replacement:
