For its newest foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z-Flip, Samsung has also collaborated with American fashion brand, Thom Browne. And Samsung sold out the limited edition set in only thirty minutes.
However, the sales process has not been smooth. Online buyers complained for the access errors they must face in purchasing the product via Samsung.com. Now the attention gathers at whether Samsung will make additional sales for the so-called limited edition design.
The Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition is a limited-edition package with sophisticated design. It includes Thom Browne signature colors and tricolor patterns. And it consists of the new foldable phone Galaxy Z Flip, smartwatch Galaxy Watch Active2 and wireless earphone Galaxy Buzz Plus. The price is around $3,000, almost double the original price of the phone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition pre-sale sold out, the price goes mad
However, Samsung Electronics’ efforts for customers who complain of inconvenience due to the loss of access remained regrettable.
Soon after the complete sale of the Thom Browne edition, there are many posts on online thrift shop sites that sell the package with higher price
The product has yet to be released, but there have been some people who are raising their prices from $4,000 to $15,000. With only the success of their orders on Samsung’s website. In fact, an online thrift shop reportedly offered the Thom Browne edition for $7,500.
Samsung Electronics said it will deliver the products sequentially starting March 4 to customers who have finished pre-booking online. However, the company said that it is considering additional online sales plans.
Samsung was also scheduled to sell the Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne edition at five offline stores across the country, but it only conducted the Galaxy Z Flip edition on-line sales due to expected inconveniences, such as concerns over Corona19 infection and overnight waiting for customers.
