I bought mine but I am reselling it. What a waste!
Remember when everyone made fun of those smug iPhone assholes waiting in lines to buy their new phone?
I wonder how many there were available? A few thousand? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? One million?
This headline is pointless without knowing a number of units. It is just free marketing for Samsung.
They won’t tell you. They need to keep the number unknown to create artificial scarcity and fomo buyers.
Never mind the tri-fold part; it’s ridiculous that anybody is stupid enough to buy Samsung’s DRM’d shit.
I understand that this is stupidly expensive and folding phone are fragile. But I do think they are the first exciting innovation to happen to phones in a while. Not just chasing higher numbers for the spec sheet. If they can solve the technical problems maybe in 5-10 years we can have the best aspects of a tablet and phone combined. And maybe phones can stop being so damn big when they’re folded closed
The fold and the flip have already cycled several years of continuous improvement. The hinges now are a massive improvement over the original flimsy hinges. The crease has been getting smoother as well.
It’s interesting, it’s still an early adopter kind of product. But it obviously has a market, however small it might be.
