Although Samsung’s foldable smartphone journey began on a sour note, the company reportedly seems determined to pursue this category. The Galaxy Fold, which was reportedly produced in limited quantities to gauge market response, is apparently doing well in various markets, which is shockingly good news for the company. Now, if a South Korean news outlet is to be believed, Samsung's foldable smartphone shipments for 2020 might be more than tenfold that of this year.

This year, Samsung is expected to sell 500,000 units of the Galaxy Fold in total, which is not bad at all for a niche device with a near-$2000 price tag. In fact, the phone has proved to be so popular that it has sold out in many markets. This implies that perhaps the market is ripe for the new form factor and that’s apparently the reason why Samsung's foldable smartphone shipments for 2020 are expected to reach six million, or at least that’s what the South Korean giant hopes.
