The Galaxy Z Flip 3 has been a massive hit, and the much more expensive Fold 3 has likewise seen unexpectedly high sales: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/samsu

  How do you define "massive hit"? That article cited an estimate of 9M foldable smartphones being sold in 2021 - compared to 1.4B total smartphone sales last year (~1.12B just looking at Android). That's less than 1%, no?

    You should compare them to the ultra premium category. These devices aren't competing with the massive majority of cheap androids. Given that Samsung sold around 20-25 million S21s, it is absolutely a massive hit.

      Apple sold 240M iPhones in 2021 - 15x as many as the 'massive hit' of foldables... I think you're living in a bit of a bubble if you think they're that popular.

        Again, not comparable. You're comparing two models against an entire company. It's really Android vs iPhone, and in the Android world those numbers mainly in one model is a massive success.

        How is that anything but a massive hit? It's a new emerging technology. Selling multiple millions is insane.

      Fair point!
