A growth that Samsung is very proud of: “Three years ago, Samsung’s foldable Galaxy could be summed up in one word: radical,” commented PDH Roh Tae-moon. “Very quickly, however, it became apparent that this revolutionary and flexible design fitted in perfectly with modern lifestyles. Therefore, what was a novelty three years ago is now the preferred choice of millions of people. »

A score that confirms the enthusiasm around the latest model, which already represented 53% of sales of foldable smartphones, all brands combined, in the first quarter of 2022.
In addition, almost all of the remaining users opted for a Galaxy Z Fold, especially for their larger screen and increased productivity. Faced with this grandiloquent success, Samsung now says to itself “We are on this journey to find new possibilities for mobile innovation”.
