The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is breaking expectations already – and the story isn’t over

Reportedly, Samsung initially planned to make 200,000 units of the book-style foldable. Now, according to this new report, the company has raised its target to 260,000 units. 

In July, the South Korea-based company produced its biggest volume of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 yet, and it reached around 1.3 million units. This successful streak continued in August as well, when Samsung produced 430,000 units, which went above its initial target by 100,000 units. 

Obviously, this means the Galaxy Z Fold 7‘s sales are going strong, and for two consecutive months, Samsung had to up its production targets. Which, I’m pretty sure, the company isn’t complaining about.

Industry insiders now expect that Galaxy Z Fold 7 sales may surpass 2.4 million units this year. This is above the Z Fold 6’s 2.23 million units. 

In the meantime, Samsung is expected to announce its first tri-folding phone sometime next month. Reportedly, this innovative phone, which is currently only rivaled by Huawei’s Mate XT models, may sport a 6.5-inch cover screen and a huge 10-inch internal screen. A triple camera system is said to adorn the phone with a 200MP main camera, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Samsung’s main competitor in the smartphone market, Apple, is yet to release a foldable at all. The first foldable iPhone is currently expected towards the end of next year. 

I personally am a big fan of foldable phones, and I’m happy to see that interest in them is starting to grow. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a gorgeous and capable phone, so it’s no surprise that people like it and are willing to buy it. I’m curious to see what Apple does to answer this challenge.
