Samsung: In the month of the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 3, we sold more clamshell phones than all of 2020

Samsung has reported some interesting sales details from the clamshell smartphone market. The company apparently sold more clamshell phones in the month of the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 than in 2020 as a whole.

Samsung sold about four times as many clamshells in a single month as it did in 2020, according to an official press release. The significant increase in sales is attributed only to the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in August 2021 (August 1400). Both models have been hugely popular around the world, multiplying sales of foldable handsets by 2020.

Currently, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are Samsung’s latest foldable models and have entered the market with various improvements compared to their previous generation. The first model is the best model and the second model is the more cost-effective model.

Given that Samsung has not officially disclosed the number of sales, this news is in accordance with the previous report of the research company Counterpoint, which estimated the sale of more than 9 million folding devices in 2021. This figure alone is about three times higher than the total foldable sales in 2020.

It goes without saying that Samsung had a share of about 88% in the market of foldable phones in 2020. The Korean giant’s strong presence in the market is expected to continue this year; But that is likely to decline next year due to the arrival of newer folding models from competitors. One of the most recent foldable products on the Oppo market is called Find N; Of course, Huawei has also recently introduced its P50 Pocket clamshell phone.
