The foldable phone market is heating up, and it appears Samsung is holding a winning hand. After a couple of years of what felt like incremental updates, the company delivered a truly compelling upgrade with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. And it seems that people have noticed. Samsung is now facing the best kind of problem: overwhelming consumer demand that has forced it to ramp up the Galaxy Z Fold 7 production.
The core of this success lies in the new Z Fold 7’s “super slim” design. While previous models were impressive, the new version became the world’s lightest and thinnest book-style foldable. This seemingly small change has made the device far more appealing to a broader audience. For foldable devices, a lighter, more portable design seems to be exactly what the market wanted. This positive response from customers has translated into a sales success that even Samsung didn’t fully anticipate.
Samsung increases production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 due to strong user demand
This user enthusiasm is directly impacting Samsung’s production line. The Korean outlet The Elec reports that the company has had to increase its monthly production plan for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to 260,000 units. This represents a notable jump from its initial plan of 200,000 units. We’re not talking about just a small adjustment; it shows the phone is flying off the shelves faster than expected. The company’s confidence in the product is also highlighted by its pricing strategy. The Z Fold 7’s base price was raised, while the Z Flip 7’s remained the same. This signals that Samsung is fully confident in the new Fold model’s appeal.
The new design and strong market response signal a turning point for the Fold series. Industry experts now predict that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will ship more than 2.4 million units this year. For reference, the previous model (Galaxy Z Fold 6) shipped 2.23 million. This performance is also a crucial part of Samsung’s larger strategy, as the company aims to ship a total of 6.1 million foldable phones across its entire lineup.
