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?
- sudosysgen 4y agoYou 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.
- happyopossum 4y agoApple 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.
- sudosysgen 4y agoAgain, 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.
- rowanG077 4y agoHow is that anything but a massive hit? It's a new emerging technology. Selling multiple millions is insane.
- crakhamster01 4y agoFair point!
