When Samsung launched the Galaxy Fold in India last week with a price tag of Rs 1.65 lakh, there were doubts whether this 'futuristic' device will get buyers or not. Ten days into the launch and there is nothing left to ponder upon. The South Korean giant has managed to sell out this expensive smartphone, not once but twice, in the last one week. The first-ever foldable phone launched in India had gone on sale for the second time in the country on Friday, only to be sold out within 30 minutes. This comes a week after the company had managed to sell 1600 units of the smartphone in the same duration.
