400k seems a massive success for an ultraexpensive niche product that only sells in one country
it still runs android or that proprietary incompatible os?
Incredibly so, so much that it kinda makes me doubt it. What causes foldable phones to be such a success in Asia? All my time in NA/EU and I’ve seen like 5 in the wild.
Most foldable phones are from Asian companies, some of which are banned in the US.
The Western world is dominated by Apple and the market reflects that with popular Android phones taking cues from the iPhone. I don’t think foldables will ever take off there unless Apple gets into it.
US is dominated by Apple.
*in the phone market
It’s only 0.28% of the population of that makes any difference.
I don’t know what my anecdote is worth, but I live full time in Shanghai and haven’t ever seen one of these. (Maybe I just didn’t notice? I think I would have)
Makes sens to not notice snybody using it. 400k is nothing in an country with over a billion people
Yes true, but just for reference I live in Shanghai, and in a country of great inequality distribution there are many more early adopters and such here compared to most cities and towns.
They’re not tri folds. They only have two folds.
We don’t call single fold phones bi-folds. We just call them folding phones.
Hope it succeeds, I’d love every other manufacturer to copy the format so there’s a chance of it one day being affordable!
