"Galaxy Z" "Flip 5" and "Fold 5" exceed 1M pre-sales = Korea

Samsung Electronics announced on the 8th that the total sales of the two models reached 1.02 million units during the pre-sale period of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphones from August 1 to 7. This is the largest sales volume of Fo-LUDA smartphones in Korea. It greatly exceeded the total of 970,000 units of "Flip 4" and "Fold 4" of the same series released last year.

One of the most popular was the Flip 5. According to the company, the sales ratio of "Flip 5" to "Fold 5" was 7 to 3, widening the gap from the previous model, which was 6 to 4. The "Flip 5" has a cover display that is twice as large as its predecessor, and the design has been renewed, which has increased the interest of young people.

For Samsung Electronics, it is important that the positive impression of pre-sales continues after official sales. The industry expects annual sales to exceed 10 million units, as it has recorded 1 million units in advance sales. Its predecessor sold nearly 10 million units but never surpassed that.

An official in the parts industry said, "The fact that we were able to sell to a level similar to the pre-sales volume of ordinary bar-type smartphones means that Korean consumers' trust in foldable smart phones has increased. It is expected that the popularization of smart phones will accelerate."
