New Delhi:
Samsung Galaxy Fold, the company’s first foldable Android smartphone in the Indian market, was launched on October 1. During the first sale, the company had sold 1,600 units in just 30 minutes. On Friday, the smartphone maker made headlines saying that the company has so far sold 1 million units of Samsung Galaxy Fold. Clarifying over it, Samsung said that it has not sold 1 million units of Galaxy Fold units as reported by the media.
According to a report by Yonhap, Samsung has denied such reports saying that the company’s spokesperson may have confused the initial sales target for the Galaxy Fold which was interpreted as the sales achieved so far. It is worth mentioning here that while Samsung confirmed it hasn’t sold 1 million Galaxy Fold units, the smartphone maker did not reveal the actual figures.
Previously, Samsung Electronics’ President Young Sohn was quoted as saying, “And I think that the point is, we are selling a million of these products. There are a million people that want to use this product at $2,000,” at TechCrunch’s Disrupt Berlin event.
