Hudinited, 20 Aug 2022Using that logic, cars are concept in every country. Phones... moreYes, phones are no longer a luxury and a need, but foldable smartphones are a luxury. They are the expensive sedans and Ferrari's of phone world.

Also flip I think are more than 2: 1. More like 3 or 4:1.

Phones became expensive and necessary so it's not a luxury anymore and let me tell you that by your standard some "mainstream " devices didn't sell that well in probably a week.

pt020, 19 Aug 202250k for a country with 1.4b people is not much.* 50k in a country with avg. salary 1/3rd the price of flip and 1/5th the price of fold in first 12 hours for a phone that is still a concept style design and in no way mainstream. *

pt020, 19 Aug 202250k for a country with 1.4b people is not much.50k pre-orders at an average order value of 100000 INR (since trade in and discounts here are shitty), and assuming flip 4s outsold the fold 4s 2:1 (again, just an assumption), gives a revenue of 500 Crores INR. In 12 hours. Let that sink in.

professionalnoob, 19 Aug 2022I'm a Galaxy Fold 3 user from India and unlike the US ... moreUnfortunately, you do not get a $900 exchange value in India, but around $320 for Flip 3 128GB. Galaxy Watch 4 for $37. Additional $87 if you have an HDFC Bank card.
But yes, not as good as $900. 🥲
P.S - I was tempted to get this too. But as compared the to USA, not much value given to Indian customers.

I'm a Galaxy Fold 3 user from India and unlike the US arm of Samsung which gave $900 off on exchange of the old Z Flip 3, there is no such offer in India. As usual, we have to pay the full price again, haha. I was expecting that maybe Samsung India might offer us something similar to what the US is getting but no such luck. Even if you are a Fold 3 or Flip 3 user, you will have to pay the full amount, after a $100 general discount (which you can avail with any other phone as well). Also, the Z Fold 3 costs about $2000 in India, unlike in the States where it is cheaper (yes yes, obviously tax but also Samsung also upcharges without giving us Indians any special benefits - unless you can call the older generation Samsung Watch 4 as a benefit - I have one and it is slow and laggy unlike my earlier Gear SE)

It's really very low as far as a country like India is concerned. May be the designs of the z fold 4 and z flip 4 don't attract a lot as these are identical to z fold 3 and z flip 3! And the post COVID recession has a role to play too. Even though, it's better for the Indians to go along with the Samsung...Hurray!

yeah, 50k in a 1.3 Billion country is 0,001% sales...meh, big fail.
even if this 50k are in some 10 million country, then yes is a win, otherwise just prove samsung is playing with costumers and trying to make the image better than they really is.

They will remain with these orders. In a country with 1.3 billion people, is quite a low number. These preorders are made by Telecom and electronic stores, hoping that they will sell these phones.
