Samsung did a bad job releasing this phone in Korea and US. Not limiting the purchase of the Trifold and sold out in minutes is ridiculous. Now I see ads for $4900 per phone and the picture is showing this person has 15 in the box phones. As a true Samsung fan I am very disappointed. First when I went to Korea release and restock and now in the US. Not a happy Samsung customer.
There's supposed to be another US release. Don't know when, but you can be sure the bots will get at that supply, too. Just like game consoles in recent history. Manufacturers need better protections for online sales of high-demand products.
They will have no choice. Many people are not going to buy them marked up prices unless they're just extremely wealthy. Otherwise the scalpers are left holding the bag. I suppose that's good for Samsung in the fact that they sell their initial batch, bad for the scalpers. But then ultimately bad for Samsung, because Samsung's numbers will not look healthy, they'll try to figure out why they're not moving a lot of models outside of the initial launch. They know scalpers are the ones doing it They even removed an image and a review left on their own product page left by scalpers. The scalpers bragged about their huge haul.
