Samsung’s first foldable smartphone — Galaxy Fold, went official earlier this year after months of delays because of build quality. However, the smartphone seems to be quite popular in the market.
Samsung Electronic’s president Young Sohn revealed during an event in Berlin that “there’s a million people that want to use this product at $2,000 each.” He then followed up to clarify that the company claims to have sold 1 million units of the Galaxy Fold.
While the numbers are not much compared to the tens of millions of phones that Samsung and Apple move each quarter, but this is quite surprising given the phone’s pricing of around $2,000 as many small manufacturers struggle to achieve the same feat.
For those who are unaware, the Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphone went on sale in September this year, months later than originally planned. Samsung canceled its original launch plans and went back to the drawing board, strengthening the phone’s design and revising parts of it to make it less prone to breakage.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphone presents a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display with a 1536 x 2152 pixels screen resolution where can use three apps at the same time which Samsung calls Three-app Multitasking.

It is powered by a 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor paired with 12GB of RAM and packs 512GB of internal storage using UFS 3.0 technology.
Connectivity options on the phone include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C port. The smartphone also comes with stereo speakers that are equipped with Dolby Atmos surround sound technology.
