How Samsung Lied about Galaxy-Fold Sales

On December 16, 2019, Noah Harris reported at TechCrunch Disrupt in Berlin that President Sohn Young-Kwon of Samsung Electronics formally declared the sales data of Galaxy-Fold Smartphones. Harris stated that Samsung President recounted the first smartphone with a flexible display. Sohn Young-Kwon, according to Harris, informed the public that customers purchased one million Galaxy Folds.

The report of the sales of Galaxy-Fold Smartphones did not offer promising market income. However, Sohn-Young-Kwon bizarrely touched the market with its price tag around $2,000.00. As well, the creation and the production of the Galaxy Folds that fold horizontally like small books offered some exciting features and looks.

Soon after, some Samsung Electronics representatives, however, said that Samsung Electronics President lied. They confirmed that the president’s information was inaccurate. Selling approximately a million Galaxy-Fold smartphones was rough in which the sales of these phones did not exceed the mark of one million units.

Some Samsung Electronics representatives and leaders, as reported, committed an error by using the planned figures of last year. Instead of using the new figures, the President made numerous claims that the current year instead of the actual sales volume was the right information to disclose. According to tech analysts, Galaxy Fold Smartphone sales would range from 400 to 500 thousand units.

However, the sales of Samsung Galaxy Folds would expectedly hit the chart in 2020 and 2021. Choi Bo-Young who is Kyobo Securities analyst believed that Samsung would sell 6 million units of its foldable phone in 2020 and 20 million units in 2021. He then added that the prices of Galaxy Fold Smartphones would plummet little by little after that as it would compel the company to produce more foldable handsets rather than the foldable phones.

Indeed, as the question of why Samsung Chair, Sohn Young-Kwon, lied about the sales of Galaxy-Fold Smartphones, the answer remained obvious that marketing strategies are complex to imagine. Without a doubt, marketing officers and leaders would make sure that their products would sell despite their actions whether or not they would tell any words of deceptions to the public. Should they lie about that? I bet, they shouldn’t.

Nokia 3310, iPhone 11, & Samsung S10 on Durability Test

Would you try to use your phones to determine which one lasts long and survives through a perfect disaster like an accidental fall? If you wish to know the answer, which phones survive, you need to do this – dropping Nokia 3310, iPhone 11, and Samsung S10 from a helicopter. Which phone do you think can survive and last long?

A challenging yet demanding trial conducted by several vloggers from the YouTube channel called How Ridiculous reveals the durability of the smartphones. Vloggers posted a video when they tested three phones, such as iPhone 11, Samsung S10, and the famed and indestructible classic Nokia 3310, and released them from a helicopter. The result of the experiment revealed that Nokia 3310 survived.

Here could be the catch! These bloggers noted the height and altitude levels of the helicopter were in 50, 76, 152, 228, and 304 meters. Observers and vloggers made this video vibrant to see how this experimentation materialized. From a three-hundred-meter height to the ground, vloggers reinvigorated spectators to see how the test managed. As vloggers plunged these three phones on the ground, they, of course, observed and see the results.

Based on the initial observation, the historical Nokia 3310 survived the fall and remained workable until the last phase of the test. Based on the observation, only Nokia 3310 managed to survive from the terrifying fall. Bloggers managed to check the features of the phone like the Snake Game in Nokia 3310 and revealed that it functioned appropriately despite the crash experiment.

In terms of the three-hundred-meter madness, the flagship phone Nokia 3310 thrived the test. The protective covering and the phone cases of the phone added extra credits as Nokia 3310 survived the long process of crash test.

Even if the smartphones worked as common and even if the screen of the iPhone 11 stayed intact, they had cracks and scratches. Samsung’s device, like the camera, got damaged either. Upon seeing Nokia 3310, all parts of the phones remained in place. To get the most hype points, vloggers reiterated the experiment and found the same result. So, you better decide now! Do you wish to buy durable phones or the fancy and more exquisite ones?
