Unlike last year, Samsung’s local office said they brought in more foldable devices.
“Last year we sold out all our foldable devices at pre-order, meaning there is a demand for this kind of devices in this market. This year we have enough numbers available for everyone who wishes to enjoy our foldable device range” Mr. Charles Kimari, Head of Consumer Electronics at Samsung Electronics East Africa told us on our 24bit podcast.
Globally Samsung also received massive pre-orders for the new foldables. According to reports that cited unnamed industry sources, Samsung apparently received 450,000 pre-orders of both devices combined during the first week of being launched.
