Samsung releasing $2000 early access phone next- oh, NM

1million is pretty soft numbers with how much they were trying to hype this disaster up.

That said, it "beating" ( ) their sales expectations after revising (500,000) is solid for ending the year with this disaster, so Good for Her.gif on Samsung's shit-build-quality still having fans, I guess.

Yeah the added R&D + manufacturing cost from delaying it at the 11th hour almost certainly means this thing is nowhere near profitable. Still, the sales may convince Samsung their investment has been worth it since they can ameliorate the costs across successive generations.

It's one of those products that isn't finished yet but no one knows what the "successful" evolutionary path will be so it could all just be a big money bonfire.

A billion in revenue. Dumb samsung.

LOL guess we're the dopes for actually expecting this thing to have sold.

Samsung has clarified that it has not, in fact, sold 1 million Galaxy Folds, in a statement given to Korea's Yonhap News Agency. Samsung declined to comment on the actual number of units sold, only to say it was not over a million.

Samsung would not even state if estimates of 500,000 units were closer to an accurate figure, perhaps suggesting the real number could even be below analyst expectations. This wouldn't be a surprise, as given the massive delay caused by the phone's faulty design, it's very possible Samsung hasn't even been selling the Fold long enough to reach that number.

As to why a Samsung executive claimed the 1 million figure in the first place, the official line is that Sohn Young may have confused the company's initial internal sales target, which apparently was 1 million units before the phone was delayed.

slick samsung

The foldable Razr is the only foldable phone that seems worth having. Only it isn't really for the average consumer because it is way too expensive for what you are getting.
