If you thought that the long delay might deter consumers from buying the Galaxy Fold, you were mistaken. According to The Korea Herald, Samsung on Friday said that the initial batch of Galaxy Fold units sold out as soon as they went on sale in South Korea this week. Samsung didn’t provide any hard numbers, but industry sources tell the Herald that the first round of preorders through the country’s three major carriers is likely only around 1,000.
As the Herald notes, this estimated figure does not include phones sold directly by Samsung online or in retail stores, so the number is almost certainly higher, though there’s no way to know how much higher.
