6 years after the launch of the very first Galaxy Fold, the fold is finally taken for the folding smartphones of Samsung: the latest generation unveiled in early July attracts consumers in large numbers. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 simply made their best launch in the United States.
Commercially available since July 24, new folding smartphones of Samsungmeet a big success. After the rumors of this good fortune, confirmation by the manufacturer comes. The Korean group has indeed announced that pre -orders for Galaxy Z Fold 7 et Flip 7 increased by more than 25 % compared to last year’s generation in the United States. Partner operators have for their part recorded a 60 % increase in these same precos.
Best historical launch for the Galaxy Z Fold 7
Despite its pounding price of $ 2,000, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 obtained the most pre -orders (a jump of 50 % compared to the Fold 6!). “” It is the best launch ever recorded for a Z Fold apparatus in the United States to date “Said Drew Blackard, vice-president of product management at Samsung, from Bloomberg. « Consumers now receive advantages rather than compromise linked to foldable experience He adds.
For its new range, Samsung has put small dishes in the big ones. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 in particular was entitled to a slimming treatment and its wasp size makes it look like a “normal” smartphone once folded. As for Flip 7, its external screen which occupies the entire surface of the valve gives it a good look.
Samsung also notes the performance of the blue Z Fold 7, which represents almost half of the pre -orders, while so far black was the color of predilection for this family. Another info: ” Since 2024, we have observed a significant increase in the number of buyers of Fold models, a trend that we continue to follow closely for our last devices », indique Drew Blackard.
This craze is encouraging for the entire folding sector – and this must appeal to Apple which would prepare its first foldable iPhone for next year. Nevertheless, you have to keep your head cool: Samsung has sold less than 10 million of the old Fold models (it would rather revolve around 5 million units). It is very low compared to “classic” smartphones whose sales exceed the dozens, even the hundreds of millions of units.
