There is currently a race for the position of âfirst tech giant with a foldable phoneâ with ZTE and Samsung in the forefront. However, it doesn’t seem like Samsung is actually running because while the South Korean manufacturing giant is slowly preparing for a possible 2018 launch of a bendable smartphone, ZTE appears to be swift as it prepares to announce a foldable smartphone on October 17 in New York.
Gizchina News of the week
However, the rumors coming out of South Korea indicates that only 100,000 units of Samsung Galaxy X foldable smartphone will be produced and this number will probably get swallowed up in South Korea as it is largely insufficient to serve other international markets. This is most likely a deliberate act by Samsung to test-run the bendable form factor and depending on the acceptance of this device in its hometown, a worldwide launch would swiftly follow. Recall that Strategy Analytics mentioned that this new innovation is very open to changes and the model that we will see now will be very different from what will be released in 5 years time. Strategy Analytics data also shows that if the foldable smartphones are launched, they will only manage to sell about 700,000 globally.
It is possible that we will see the Galaxy X before the CES show in Las Vegas next year since it has gotten a model number (SM-G888N0), Bluetooth SIG certification and South Korea’s National Radio Agency certification.
yeah. whatever.
what’s the point ?
“However, the rumors coming out of South Korea indicates that only 100,000 units of Samsung Galaxy X foldable smartphone will be produced and this number will probably get swallowed up in South Korea as it is largely insufficient to serve other international markets.” Thats the point…
Even if the phone is launched, do not expect to see it outside South Korea.
You’re right but I meant “having a foldable phone : what’s the point ?”
Samsung probably dont know what to expect or the price will be outrageous
