For a few months there, things looked unexpectedly bleak for the Galaxy Fold, which is not only Samsung’s first foldable smartphone but the first such device from a major brand to become commercially available. Of course, the release of this highly anticipated product was originally scheduled for April, ultimately taking place just a couple of weeks ago in a single global market.
Even after such a painfully long wait, however, as well as concerns over the company’s “stabilization” and durability improvement process, it seems the excitement is still very much alive, at least in South Korea. It reportedly took mere minutes for the first pre-order batch in Samsung’s homeland to be sold out, and while it’s obviously tricky to ramp up the production and sales of a device like the Galaxy Fold, local media expects the second batch to be significantly larger.
