The latest report from SamMobile claims that Samsung has started mass production of the core components used in the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphones.

Samsung expects to ship more than 10 million units of the upcoming foldable smartphones this year. Given the popularity of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphone compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 3, the production of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 could account for about 70 percent of the company’s foldable smartphones.

If the company manages to ship its targeted units by the end of this year, then it will be a milestone as for the first time, the foldable phones could account for about 1 percent of all the smartphones delivered worldwide.

Although the foldable smartphones are still pricier than the traditional phones, we expect the pricing to decrease in the coming years, with more such devices from other brands entering the market. The lower pricing could lead to more people adopting and using foldable phones, increasing their market share globally.
