Foldable phones<\/a> are still a niche market in the US: Most Americans say they don’t have any interest<\/a> in a foldable smartphone.<\/p>\n

Despite widespread apprehension, the hype around foldables and flip phones<\/a> is real for a growing segment of fans. And leading foldable-phone maker Samsung just reported better sales numbers for its seventh generation of foldables than ever before.<\/p>\n

According to Samsung<\/a>, the Galaxy Z Flip 7<\/a> and the Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a> are driving new customers into the company’s foldable ecosystem in droves. The company said the Z Flip 7 is “converting customers to Galaxy at a record pace compared to previous Flip devices.” The Flip 7 has driven more people away from other smartphone brands than any other Samsung flip phone.<\/p>\n

A Samsung representative did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.<\/p>\n

Samsung users are switching, too<\/p>\n

The latest generation of Samsung foldables isn’t just converting loyalists from other brands. The latest Galaxy Z phones are convincing existing Samsung customers to switch from a standard smartphone to a foldable or flip phone.<\/p>\n

\"AI <\/a> <\/p>\n

“Users transitioning from S series Ultra models have increased significantly, now making up nearly 30% of Galaxy Z Fold 7 purchases,” Samsung says in its report. “The strong consumer response seen at launch continues, with Galaxy Z Fold 7 purchases currently exceeding the previous generation by 50%.”<\/p>\n

Samsung unveiled its latest foldables at the Galaxy Unpacked event<\/a> in July. The presentation largely focused on AI integration with a focus on Google Gemini<\/a> and the thinness of the Fold 7 and Flip 7 models.<\/p>\n

The new report on increased Galaxy Z sales numbers isn’t entirely unprecedented. The Z Fold 7 broke Fold series preorder records<\/a> in July, with a more than 25% increase in interested buyers over last year’s model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Foldable phones are still a niche market in the US: Most Americans say they don’t have any interest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-193119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
