Samsung didn't offer an explanation for its decision, but it's not exactly a surprise.

Ita the only foldable that actually makes sense.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It better makes sense because it cost like 3 high end phones :)

3 times the screen 3 times the price.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Only 1 times the RAM tho

How does it make sense? They call it a Tri Fold but it only folds twice, not three times.

It's a phone and a tablet in one but costs more than the two of them together, even if the tablets are an iPhone Pro and an iPad Pro.

Make it make sense.

It folds into three sections. Trifold.

Oh... Samsung, the new Google

[–] BigBrownBeaver@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Well the front fell off

I suspect they broke too often. First thought was low sales but article says otherwise.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

articles lie.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can they stop a sale if it was not selling?... maybe stop "offering" tehehehehehe

Did you read the article?

"Samsung didn’t offer a rationale for this decision, but poor sales probably isn’t it. While the phone retailed for a whopping $2,899, Samsung was selling every unit it could produce. The company’s website actually teased restocks until recently, and desperate buyers were paying above MSRP on the second-hand market."

Of course I didn't! who do you think I am hehehe.

Having said that, this makes little sense.. was Samsung producing 100 a week?

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Rule 1: never read the article
