It went on sale today in South Korea, which is the only country where it's being sold. The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, announced last week, went on sale in...
While it was previously reported that Samsung was only looking to manufacture ~20,000 to ~30,000 TriFold units, its quick sellout could be seen as a positive.
Is this 20-30K for the initial batch or lifetime? That a critical point.
20 stores only. Sold out in minutes. I’m guessing it takes a minute to get from the door to the display, pick one up and get to the checkout. Now people are still in parallel for this, but still I’m guessing 10 per store, with 100 the absolute max - so between 200 and 2000 (could be as low as 20)
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.

So fuck all was “sold out in minutes”. In a country of 51mil+ that is nothing.

These things are usually calculated quarter to quarter.

I don’t know about minutes given the pictures in the article but yeah I’d imagine your numbers are still correct
That is lines outside - we have no idea how many of those got one.
They won’t tell you. They need to keep the number unknown to create artificial scarcity and fomo buyers.
