A couple of weeks ago, Samsung officially launched its latest foldable smartphones — Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3. On 11th August, the company started taking pre-orders for these new phones, promising shipments on or before 27th August.
The general sales for the new foldable smartphones are also scheduled to begin from 27th August but it seems that the South Korean giant isn’t able to keep up with the demand and is reportedly delaying shipments.
As per the report from All About Samsung, customers in Germany who pre-ordered the Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, and the new Galaxy Watch4 series smartwatches are getting emails from the company notifying them about shipping delays. It is also being claimed that shipment for some of the customers could be delayed till mid-September.
Samsung says that this is happening because of the high demand for its newly launched products. This seems to be in line with the previous report, which revealed that the pre-orders for the latest smartphones from the brand have exceeded the South Korean technology giant’s highest projections.
Recently, it was reported that by the end of last week, pre-orders for the new foldable phones crossed the mark of 450,000 units and were speculated to reach 600,000 units by the end of the pre-order period. If the unlocked model is also to be included in the mix, then the numbers could reach 800,000 units. For context, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 had received about 80,000 pre-orders when it was launched.
