The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the second clamshell foldable smartphone after Motorola razr. But the former is much popular although the latter has a recognized branding with a cult following. A new report also backs this claim by revealing the South Korean tech giant to have sold 230,000 units in March alone.
The whole smartphone market is stumbling due to COVID-19 global pandemic. Even Samsung itself has cut down its smartphone components orders by 50%. Amidst this, the company has somehow managed to sell 230,000 units of Galaxy Z Flip in March. That is a 56.1% month-on-month (MoM) sales increase from February.
On the other hand, the Galaxy S20 series sales declined by 35% YoY compared to Galaxy S10 series. This clearly implies people are willing to try cutting edge folding screen products than the same old boring rectangular slabs.
This has been possible due to durability ensured by Samsung by using UTG (Ultra Thin Glass). The first foldable from the company, the Galaxy Fold has various issues and also it costs way more than an average smartphone. But both these problems have been somewhat fixed with the Galaxy Z Flip.
Also, the latest foldable from Samsung has no major complaints from users so far unlike the ill-fated Galaxy S20 Ultra. This gives us more hope for the upcoming Galaxy Fold 2, which is expected to launch alongside Galaxy Note 20 series in the second of this year.
