    Samsung has quadrupled Galaxy foldable phone shipments in 2021

    The Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 have brought in more customers than the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy S21. Samsung confirmed this little fun fact earlier today, but there's more to share about the success story of the latest foldable devices.

    Samsung claims to have shipped four times more foldable phones this year than in 2020, exceeding analyst expectations. Industry watchers estimated a three-fold growth rate for Samsung's foldable shipments; however, they appear to have underestimated consumer interest in this emerging technology and the impact that the new-gen foldable phones will have. According to previous estimates, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 alone accounted for around 60% of all foldable phone shipments in Q3.

    Foldable phones are looking more and more exciting

    Samsung manufactured the first Galaxy foldable phones in relatively small quantities due to production constraints and because the technology was too new and unproven. However, we're past that point, and both the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 have been well-prepared for the consumer market at large.

    Not only have these new foldable phones been manufactured in shipped in much larger quantities, but they boast tantalizing features such as water resistance — and are the first and only foldable devices to do so. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the first foldable device to support the S Pen. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is now more customizable than ever, at least in the USA, thanks to the launch of the Bespoke Edition, which offers no fewer than 49 color combinations.

    Many brand-new Samsung customers are now joining the company's ecosystem for the first time, thanks to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. And with this occasion, we welcome everyone, and we hope you'll have a great time.
