Slightly OT: IMHO, I think Samsung made a huge mistake announcing the Fold along with their other products.
1 - This is a new product category and I think it deserves its own stage.
2 - Fold is overshadowing everything else Samsung announced. Galaxy, etc. are their biggest sellers but they lost the main attention to the Fold. Basically Fold's hype will cannibalize market attention of their new announcement that will make most of their revenue.
- xiphias2 8y agoS10 phones are just evolution on S9. I usually buy every 2 year (my S9 plus is working perfectly), so I'll probably just skip it and buy S11, but I consider smart phones as a mature category, much more excited with spending my money to buy a Tesla (and I never bought a new / almost new car in my life).

- dstaley 8y agoThe Fold is $2,000, so I highly doubt it'll cannibalize the sales of the S10.
- SomeHacker44 8y agoBy definition a more expensive item cannot cannibalize sales of a less expensive one, at least when I learned it in business school. :)
- bryanlarsen 8y agoOTOH, the fold will get a lot of media attention that will mention the s10 in an aside. The s10 by itself is boring enough that most mainstream media wouldn't mention it. Halo products are often a good strategy.
