Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 and opened pre-orders for the foldables on August 1 in South Korea. The campaign is going strong domestically with orders exceeding one million for the two devices, beating the previous record of 970,000 for 2022 devices.
Not surprisingly, the Galaxy Z Flip5 proved to be more popular than the Fold5, accounting for around 70% of the total 1.02 million units. This is an improvement for the clamshell because last year’s Galaxy Z Flip4 accounted for about 60%. Flip5 pre-orders have reached 714,000, while the Fold5 has gotten around 306,000 units with still days left before the end of the pre-order window.
Interestingly, consumers at home are less interested in the large foldable than its predecessor, as the Fold4 has gained 388,000 pre-orders. The rather tame upgrade combined with the Fold4’s solid durability means few existing users were tempted to upgrade even with Samsung’s hefty trade-in incentives.
We can see why users have flocked to the Galaxy Z Flip5: it offers a larger coverage screen that’s far more usable than any of its predecessors, and it vastly improves the selfie-taking experience, as well as navigating when the device is closed. .
