But Samsung is also facing intense competition now. With pressure from Chinese companies, the news that Apple is preparing to bring the first foldable iPhone has also alerted Samsung. However, Apple has not yet officially announced the arrival of such phones.

Although the features that can be used in two parts and sometimes as a tablet and sometimes as a small mobile have made a distinct identity in the market, the market share of such phones is still very small.

According to TAG_OPEN_div_30 the international statistics organization IDC and Counterpoint Research, the market share of such phones is less than 2 percent so far.

IDC estimates that a total of 45.70 lakh foldable phones will be sold by 2028, which is significantly lower than the 1.2 billion smartphones distributed in 2024.

“With TAG_OPEN_div_26 the Galaxy Fold 7 and Flip 7, we are in a mode of entering the mainstream,” said Won-Jun Choi, head of Samsung’s mobile department. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has an 8-inch interior screen, which is bigger than the previous version’s 7.6 inches. The Z Flip 7 has a 4.1-inch full screen on the outside and a 6.9-inch screen on the inside.

These improvements make the phone look like a normal barphone even when turned. “It’s not a product made in a year, it’s been used for a long time using new parts and new materials,” Choi said. ”

This time Samsung has used qualcomm processor in Fold 7 and its own Ixinos processor in Flip 7. TAG_OPEN_div_22 According to the company, this has been done due to the supply chain.

The cheaper version called galaxy Z Flip 7FE has also been launched for the first time this time, which has an old design and processor.

Fold 7 is priced at $100 more than the previous version. Samsung has said that the reason for this is the improvement in hardware, thin texture and high-quality cameras. According to IDC analyst Francisco Geronimo, phones that were earlier expected to become cheaper, but now they are becoming expensive.
