Dude, that FF OS phone is $25. I'm pretty sure no one is gonna refuse that offer unless they really need a specific Android app. That's why sales figures are estimated to be high for that $25 phone.

Of course they cannot compete with Samsung's sales. Question is: who can? AFAIK Apple is the only one who sells just as much.
Jolla just needs to sell enough to have marketshare and a name that sticks around. Not that everyone will know about Jolla then, but more in the sense of that regular media will mention Jolla more often. You know, that you open up The Verge or just a tech site from your country and that every now and then you see the name of Jolla pass. Just like with most other brands.
