I want to use this to store pictures from my android phone. Is this easy to use? Im not tech savvy at all.

No, this is a USB-A thumb drive, the larger port on all computers. Many newer better android phones have USB-C (small, oval shaped). Most still have micro-USB (small, trapezoid). The easiest way to tell the difference is if you can flip your charging cable upside down and it still plugs in then it's C, otherwise it's probably micro-usb. I would google photos of the ports to verify. Anyway, there are several thumbdrives that have USB-A on one side and USB-C or micro-USB on the other side. You could also get an OTG adapter for this thumbdrive to plug it into your phone. I'm not sure what software would transfer your photos to the thumbdrive, but I'm sure there are 1000 different options. The built in photos app lets you select days or individual photos and 'copy to folder' on an external drive. Other software might automate the process by copying them all when you plug in the drive. Personally I would recommend Android's built in backup&sync. It will upload your photos when you're on wifi. I think it's on by default, so you should go to google's photo webpage (amazon won't allow link), and log in with the same account you use on your phone and see if all your pictures have already been uploaded. If not, it shouldn't be too difficult to find instructions for turning on backup&sync for photos. On mine there's a switch in the photos app when I look in the 'Camera' album. FYI: uploading doesn't mean they're shared. Unless someone takes a great interest (time&money&hacking) they're pretty safe.

How hot does this get? That happens to be my main concern as of now with alot of these "low profile" drives, planning to use with a raspberry pi

It works great with the Pi. I have one that I use with my Pi 4 and Pi 400, and it doesn't seem to heat up at all. It's also much faster than many other drives floating around.

Can I install a Mac OS, option boot On startup and use it as a hard drive?

Yes. I installed macOS High Sierra on it and can start up from it whenever I need to use that OS. It works great and the speed is fine.

What is the default file system formatted as?

If you store files larger than 4GB, like video files, FAT32 is old technology that won't store big files. ExFat is much better, no file size limit. If you try to use FAT32 on something that stores video or DVR files, it might not even tell you about the file size limit, it will simply stop recording.

Posso afirmar com 100% de satisfação: superou todas as minhas expectativas! Compacto, discreto e extremamente rápido. A taxa de transferência de até 400MB/s é real — copiei arquivos grandes em poucos segundos. Outro ponto positivo é o tamanho ultracompacto, ideal para usar em notebooks, TVs, carros ou mesmo deixar conectado permanentemente sem se preocupar com danos. Além disso, o material tem ótima qualidade e transmite durabilidade. Uso principalmente para transportar arquivos pesados e backups, e o desempenho tem sido impecável até agora. A marca Samsung dispensa comentários e esse pendrive reforça o porquê. Recomendo fortemente a compra! Se você está em dúvida, pode ir sem medo - é um investimento que vale cada centavo.

High Capacity, Quick Formatting, and Great Value for Sentry Mode. This Samsung FIT Plus drive is the ideal solution for any Tesla owner needing reliable storage for Sentry Mode and dashcam clips. Performance & Setup: It was easy to use right out of the box. Crucially, it formats quick in the Tesla system, and the speed is excellent for handling constant 4K video recording without dropped frames. Size & Value: The tiny, low-profile design means it sits flush and unobtrusively in the USB port. With 256GB, it offers lots of storage for cheap, making it a fantastic and cost-effective solution for saving many hours of footage. Application: I specifically used it in my Tesla Model X for dashcam clips, and it has worked flawlessly under continuous operation. No heat and easy to connect. If you need a high-quality, high-capacity, and low-profile drive for your Tesla dashcam, this is the one to get. I enthusiastically recommend this drive!
