Samsung expects to sell more high-end phones in India this year

Samsung launched three brilliant high-end phones—Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Fold 7—this year. All these devices broke pre-order records in several key markets, and the company expects to sell more high-end devices in India this year.

In an interview with the media, Samsung MX India's Senior Vice President, Raju Pullan, said that the company expects double-digit growth for Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series phones in India compared to last year. This is great news for the company, which saw plateaued sales for its foldable phones over the past few years.

Samsung recently became India's biggest premium smartphone brand, defeating Apple, in terms of value.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7, which introduced an edge-to-edge cover screen, is thinner than its predecessor. It also features a 3nm processor, a bigger primary display, faster wireless connectivity (Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7), and a bigger battery. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the world's lightest and thinnest foldable phone. It has a faster chip, better cameras, and bigger displays than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. These improvements have attracted a lot of buyers.

Samsung also said that it expects to cross the 100 million sales milestone for Galaxy A series smartphones in India this year. It is a significant milestone for the company, and it comes at a time when the company has the biggest portfolio of mid-range and high-end phones ever in its history.

Recently, the South Korean firm launched the Galaxy A17 5G in India. It features a thinner and lighter design compared to its predecessor. The company is also bringing the charger back in the box with this phone, and it is expected that it will soon start bundling chargers with more Galaxy devices. This is a welcome change after it stopped bundling in-box chargers with phones in the past few years.
