The Galaxy Fold record turned out to be false. The smartphone has not yet overcome the mark of 1 million devices sold

Image
Today we reported that Samsung has already sold 1 million flexible Galaxy Fold smartphones, which is an impressive achievement for such an expensive and specific device. More precisely, the president of Samsung Electronics spoke about the achievement, so this is not some third-party data. However, they still turned out to be erroneous. A source, referring to a representative of Samsung, claims that in fact the Korean giant has not yet overcome the mark of 1 million sold by Galaxy Fold. It is assumed that the president of Samsung Electronics simply confused the real sales figures with the previously stated goal of Samsung, because the company initially just said that it intends to sell up to 1 million Galaxy Fold by the end of the year. Unfortunately, Samsung did not provide real sales data, so it is unclear how far the company is from this very goal.

Exploded Samsung Galaxy Note7 again called Samsung to court The victim decided to get more compensation. The Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone was introduced to the market more than three years ago, however, due to a design error, its battery could overheat, which in some cases led to ignition. As a result, Samsung recalled the entire batch of millions of smartphones from the market, and its losses exceeded $ 5 billion. This was followed by lengthy litigation from affected Samsung Galaxy Note7 buyers, but no echoes of the story were heard over the past year. However, this week it became known that a certain Mr. Hui appealed to the Supreme Court of Guangdong on the same issue for reconsideration. He was not satisfied with the decision of the Guangzhou People's Court, which said that Samsung China had no fraudulent intentions. The court considers that compensation for the telephone, as well as for the damaged laptop as a result of the explosion, is sufficient. Now the victim ...

Xiaomi is working on a smartphone with a design, like the “clamshell” Motorola RAZR

Image
The network got patents of the Chinese manufacturer, which shows a new smartphone. Interestingly, the documents were registered with CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) back in 2018. Unlike the same Motorola RAZR, the smartphone has a screen without a cutout and a “chin,” but it does have a small frame at the top, like the Pixel 4. On the device’s body, you can see the dual main camera and a small additional screen. Naturally, there is no information when such a device will enter the market (and whether it will be released at all). Recall that at the beginning of the year, the president of Xiaomi showed a prototype of a folding device, which developed on both sides. He never came out, but laid the foundation for the conceptual flagship Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha.
