The new Galaxy Z series from Samsung is a hit. Just as analysts predicted<\/a>, it set a new record for pre-orders of foldable devices in South Korea.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7<\/a> and Galaxy Z Flip7<\/a> (and presumably the Z Flip7 FE<\/a>) saw 1.04 million pre-orders in the week spanning July 15 to 21. That topped the previous record<\/a> set by the Z 5 generation of 1.02 million pre-orders. More importantly, it beats last year\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 pre-orders by a solid 14% (those managed 910,000 pre-orders).<\/p>\n

The report by ETNews contains some interesting statistics. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is now the most popular model, accounting for 60% of pre-orders registered with the three major carriers: SK Telecom, KT and LG U+. The FE model is not mentioned explicitly in the report, so we don\u2019t know how the remaining 40% are divided between the two flips.<\/p>\n

For context, last year<\/a> the split was 60\/40 in favor of the Z Flip6. And in 2023 the gap was even wider with a 70\/30 split in favor of the Z Flip5. This is the first time that the Fold has beaten the Flip.<\/p>\n

The demographic breakdown is quite interesting too. According to data from SK Telecom, 83% of Z Fold7 buyers were male, while the Z Flip7 skewed female with 59%.<\/p>\n

The typical buyer of a foldable phone is older now with more than 60% of pre-orders coming from people aged 30-50 years old. For comparison, more than half of Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 pre-orders last year came from people in their 20s and 30s.<\/p>\n

Finally, the most popular color for both the Fold and the Flip proved to be the new Blue Shadow. The second most popular picks were Jet Black for the Z Fold7 and Coral Red for the Z Flip7.<\/p>\n

While this report is primarily focused on South Korea, it does include a tidbit about the Indian market \u2013 the Galaxy Z 7 series saw 210,000 pre-orders in India in just the first two days. This is comparable to the pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 phones earlier this year and a record for foldables in the country.<\/p>\n
