Last August, Samsung presented its Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. Two new generation foldables that are a lot more accessible than their predecessors due to their price. They have been sold 1 million times.
Z Flip 3 flips the pan
In South Korea alone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 have already been pre-ordered about 450,000 times. There is now again good news for Samsung. According to information from SamMobile Samsung reached the milestone of one million sales of its new folding devices in South Korea last weekend. This makes the devices among the fastest-selling smartphones in South Korea. We could already deduce from the pre-order figures that the phones would do well.
Samsung mainly owes this milestone to the Z Flip 3. This appears to have been sold twice as much than the Z Fold 3. The price seems to be the biggest reason for this. With a suggested retail price from 1049 euros, it was 450 euros lower than its predecessor. Samsung also reached a wider audience with this award. The device is still relatively expensive compared to non-foldable models, but it is in any case not much more expensive than other devices from the high-end segment.
In addition, the device is currently almost the only one of its kind, apart from last year’s Motorola Razr 5G. As Sebastien said in his review of the device: “The features. The design. The opening and closing, just because you can. If you like the Z Flip 3, without being blinded by specifications or rational reasons, then Is there simply no phone that is better suited to you?
Finally something new?
From the figures of the Z Fold 3 and the Z Flip 3 you could conclude that many people need something new. This is partly reflected in our poll from last week. There we learn that 43% would like a foldable, if money was no object. So many people in South Korea think the same about this, for now we just have to wait for the figures worldwide.
