According to a report by ChosunBiz, today Samsung announced that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 pre-orders were around 970,000 units (closer to the 1 million mark) within 7 days (from August 16 to 22). Earlier, 12. million Galaxy S2 series units were pre-booked in 8 days, while 920,000 units of Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Fold 4 were booked in 7 days.
In contrast, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 consumers are opting for Pink Gold, Blue, and Purple, while the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is available in Beige, Grey-Green, and Phantom Black. Furthermore, Flip 4 and Fold 4 have a pre-sales ratio of 65:35, while the ratio of Flip 3 and Fold 3 was 7 to 3 last year.
Foldables finally replaced Note?
Back in 2020, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 20 series with S Pen Iconic support as its last Note lineup. The Note 20 lineup was pre-ordered for around 700,000 units, which is well behind all subsequent ranges. This shows that Samsung’s decision to discontinue the Note lineup was correct.
It is worth noting that Samsung’s foldable phone sales reached 10 million units with the Flip 3 and Fold 3, while it is estimated that the annual sales through the Flip 4 and Fold 4 will exceed 10 million units this year. Meanwhile, the pre-orders of the 4th gen Galaxy foldable are less than the Galaxy Note 10 series (1.3 million units).
