Samsung Galaxy FOLD Sells Out on Launch Day in Kenya ¶
On November 21, 2019, Samsung Kenya officially unveiled the Galaxy FOLD to the Kenyan market, a device that has been generating immense interest among tech enthusiasts.
With a price tag of KES. 230,000, the device has been met with high demand, with Charles Kimari, the head of the Mobile Division, stating that the company sold out on all 24 pieces they brought to the market within a week of its tease.
The Galaxy FOLD features the world's first 7.3-inch foldable display, known as the Infinity Flex Display, which folds into a compact device with a cover display.
During the launch, Charles Kimari said, “Samsung is writing the next chapter in mobile innovation history by changing what’s possible in a smartphone. Galaxy Fold introduces a completely new category that unlocks new capabilities never seen before with our Infinity Flex Display. We created Galaxy Fold for those that want to experience what a premium foldable device can do, beyond the limitations of a traditional smartphone.”
Although the company first announced the device earlier this year, it is only now becoming available due to challenges with the first units that broke down hours after being available for reviewers.
It is worth noting that the device will not be available on sale in retail stores, but rather through pre-ordering with Samsung.
