Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phones may not meet the target of shipments this year, with a forecast of 8 million units

CTOnews.com, September 22 (Xinhua)-- on August 10 this year, Samsung released Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phones, both of which are equipped with Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 chip, starting at 12999 yuan and 7499 yuan, respectively. Benjamin Braun, Samsung's chief marketing officer for Europe, previously said on IFA 2022 that shipments of the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 in continental Europe had "doubled" compared with previous models, namely the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3.

Samsung aims to achieve its goal of selling 15 million of all its folding screen phones by the end of this year, SAMMOBILE reported today with TheElec. But Noh Geun-chang, head of Hyundai Automotive Securities Research Center, said it was conservatively estimated that Samsung sold about 10 million folding screen phones this year, of which the Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 sold about 8 million.

Compared with Samsung's 7.1 million Galaxy Z Fold3 / Flip3 folding screen phones sold in the same period last year, sales of Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phones are expected to grow by 13%, but fall short of Samsung's shipping target this year. Reported that this situation is mainly related to the global economic situation, rather than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phone product problems.

As previously reported by CTOnews.com, data analyst Omdia said before the release of Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phones that Samsung would ship 1100 million Galaxy Z Fold4 / Filp 4 folding screen phones by the end of this year. With folding screen products such as Galaxy Z Fold 3 / Filp 3, Samsung will ship 13 million folding screen phones this year.
