Samsung’s new foldable smartphones have been very well received. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are seeing incredible demand across the globe. Samsung had confirmed previously that the pre-orders alone had surpassed all of its foldable smartphone sales to date.
It’s not uncommon for devices to lose momentum once they’ve hit the market. The initial hype wears off and those that really wanted to buy them have already done so. These new foldables seem to have no problem keeping up the sales momentum.
Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the best-selling foldable
Korean media is reporting that sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are likely to cross 1 million units this weekend. This marks a major milestone not just for foldables in Samsung’s home country but globally.
If there was any indication that Samsung has made foldable smartphones mainstream, this is it. Merely a month after the launch, the new foldables are set to achieve the milestone of 1 million units sold. That’s sold, mind you, not shipments. There are a million people in South Korea that have bought one of the two new Samsung foldables.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are in great company. Their sales momentum is similar to that of Samsung’s popular Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S8 devices. They were among the fastest devices to reach 1 million units sold in South Korea.
Samsung’s new foldables have been doing very well in other markets as well. There’s particularly great demand for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. That’s one of the reasons why Samsung might have cancelled the Galaxy S21 FE.
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the clear favorite among customers. It has sold twice as many units as the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The psychological pricing barrier that Samsung has broken with the Galaxy Z Flip 3 has certainly helped.
My first actual phone is a flip phone. (Got it in college)I'm probably one of the few who isn't a fan of folding phones.

It's easy to the pocket.
Basically I like the flip phone more than the current standard one considering how easily the standard one get scratches if you put it in your pocket or bag.
Yea the current problem with this phone is they are basically the same inside with less functionality (removal of the headphone pin/no extra storage capacity. etc) but they get higher and higher prices.Got a Note 10+ (The Kylo Ren Star Wars edition) on Ebay that was on sale for like $550 CAD. It still performs really well, although the phone gets a bit hot during gaming sessions.
The Z foldables and flip phones have such a high price tag that the even the iphones feel cheap compared to it.
There's no reason for those foldables and flip phones to cost about as much (or even almost double) the price of a regular flagship phone when they come with the same chipset (for performance) and with comparable, or even less battery life compared to Samsung's regular phones.
Tfw this causes the vast majority of Samsung's phones to skyrocket in price for diminishing returns...
EDIT: Prices
Galaxy Z fold 3 5G
Galaxy Z flip 3 (128 GB storage, 8GB ram)
Just get an ASUS ROG 5 or something. Better sound, better performance.
