| Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Everything you need to know |
Samsung has formally confirmed some sales figures for the Galaxy Z line, or as the foldable family is also known, the Galaxy Z line, and they’re quite surprising. However, it might seem like this demand over the flip Galaxy Z Flip line isn’t evidenced in sales.
Sales data for the Galaxy Z line, or the entire foldable family, have been officially confirmed by Samsung, and they’re pretty unexpected.
Considering that the two new devices for the year, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3, only launched in August, the company claims to have sold approximately 10 million foldables in 2021. The sales numbers are even more unexpected given that release date.
What’s more surprising is that 70% of those orders were for products in the Flip line rather than the Fold one, indicating that users clearly prefer the smaller clamshell gadgets to the bigger tablet-like ones.
Although the Z Flip devices are more cheap than their Z Fold competitors, that advantage was probably negated by the range’s lack of recent updates.
Despite at first appearing to be a distant second to the Z Fold 3, the Z Flip 3 has undoubtedly turned out to be the more popular smartphone. And for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, that might be very positive.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Launch
On August 10, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the new Z Fold phone are expected to make their debuts. Considering how popular the two foldables are in comparison to one another, you might assume that I am most anticipating the Flip.
The Fold, though, might stand to gain from its own obscurity.
Samsung has received a clear response from the 70% of foldable purchasers who chose the Z Flip models: “We enjoy these phones as they are.” It is obvious that the Z Flip 3 and its predecessors’ form factor, feature set, and pricing worked well.
But given the weak sales of Samsung’s flagship foldables, it appears that the Z Fold was defective or at least didn’t perform as the company had likely planned.
Three million sales isn’t bad, but it’s not quite as good as seven million. Samsung undoubtedly expects there to be much more parity in terms of sales between its models considering how much effort and money it spends on marketing the Z Fold series.
