The Galaxy Fold has recently been released in the Chinese stronghold. Samsung’s first batch of the foldable smartphone has gone sold out in just a couple minutes after the start of sales. Today, the company kicked off the second batch of Galaxy Fold units and once again it has sold out in a couple of minutes.
The South-Korean company decided that the 11.11 big sales event in China was a great opportunity to put more units of its foldable smartphone on the table. However, just like in the first time, Samsung didn’t disclose the actual number of units sold. The device is being sold for a high price tag of above $2,000. So we really doubt that we have record-breaking sales here. However, it’s interesting to see how Samsung’s foldable device is performing in the Huawei Mate X’s stronghold.
