Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has shared estimated cumulative sales figures for four flagship wide-screen foldable smartphones from major brands, revealing varying sales performances across the lineup. The newly collected estimates include a margin of error for each model and highlight how launch-period demand and market availability have influenced their overall sales.
Apple’s iPhone Duo has recorded roughly 264,000 unit sales in the first ten days after its launch, according to the estimates. That works out to around 26,000 units per day, the fastest daily run rate among the four models tracked. The strong early pace suggests strong consumer interest in Apple’s first foldable form factor, though the very short window means the figure reflects launch‑period demand more than long‑term trend.
Meanwhile, Huawei’s Pura X Max and its Collector’s Edition variants lead the group in absolute volume, with an estimated 1,174,000 units sold over 191 days on the market. That averages about 6,100 units per day, a steady rate that has allowed the device to build a large cumulative total over more than six months of availability.
Next, Xiaomi’s 18 Fold has sold an estimated 119,000 units across 53 days, or roughly 2,200 units per day. The figure places it in the middle of the pack on a daily basis and ahead of Samsung’s latest foldable in cumulative terms despite a shorter time on sale.
In comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 has recorded about 71,000 units over 87 days, averaging around 800 units per day, the slowest daily pace of the four models in this sample. The comparison is notable given Samsung’s long history in the foldable category, though regional availability and channel mix can affect such tallies.
Taken together, the estimates paint a picture of a category where newer entrants are capturing strong early interest while established players rely on longer selling windows to accumulate volume. Because each figure includes a margin of error, exact rankings should be read as approximate.
In addition, market watchers typically caution that cumulative sales alone do not capture revenue, profit, or regional breakdowns, and that launch‑week spikes often settle into lower sustained rates over time. Still, the data offers one of the clearest snapshots yet of how wide‑screen foldables are performing against one another in the current market.
