Samsung Nigeria said the highly anticipated foldable device is a hit with Nigerians as the first batch released has already sold out with pre-order sales on Friday in Lagos.
The company said that it was currently working on increasing stock levels to keep up with demand, adding that even after a delayed-release, there was an appetite for this pioneering device. It added that the next batch of the world’s first AMOLED Infinity Flex Display would be available in the Nigerian market from Nov. 29.
Galaxy Fold features the world’s first 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display, which folds into a compact device with a cover display.
It said that the device offered a powerful new way to multitask, watch videos, play games, and more – bringing to life new experiences and possibilities years in the making.
“Samsung is proud to introduce a premium foldable device, that goes beyond the limitations of a traditional smartphone,’’ said David Suh, Managing Director at Samsung Electronics West Africa in a statement.
