Well, it seems there’s one more bit of news related to Samsung’s much-maligned Galaxy Fold handset that we’re likely going to end the year on. And for many of you who’ve followed along as Samsung made its first foray into foldable smartphones, this will seem like par for the course when it comes to how Samsung has handled the … well, let’s just say the bumpy rollout of the Galaxy Fold this year.
We told you just yesterday about Samsung Electronics president Young Sohn’s assertion at a TechCrunch event that Samsung has improbably managed to sell 1 million units of the Galaxy Fold so far — a massive achievement no matter how you look at it, considering the phone’s $1,980 price tag. Not to mention the botched launch, all the early flaws and design misfires that showed up in the first units, the surprising fragility of the device, and more. Except, not so fast! Just one day later, Samsung found itself in the unfortunate position of having to walk back that declaration of 1 million Galaxy Fold sales, with a company spokesman acknowledging that figure is not accurate.
