Relative to last year’s numbers.
Ross Young, founder of Display Supply Chain Consultants and DisplaySearch, says Samsung is betting big on the next generation of its foldable smartphones.
Production of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 phones for July more than doubled that of the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 over the same period. This indicates a very strong launch. Could see a price drop.
Simply put, Samsung expects to sell more than twice as many new smartphones in the first few months after launch as it has sold the current generation handsets.
At the end of 2021, the Korean giant sold four times as many such smartphones as it did in 2020. Of course, the volume of the first batch cannot be projected on the results of the year as a whole, but Samsung clearly expects to significantly increase the supply of Galaxy Z line again.
Among other things, it may be able to achieve this by reducing prices. That is, the same Galaxy Z Flip4 will fall below the psychological mark of $1,000, which could make it even more popular. Recall that in the current generation, the Flip accounts for more than 60% of sales of the line.
