Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are generating significant excitement in South Korea. The high level of interest from consumers suggests that the new models could surpass the current pre-order record set by the series two years ago. According to reports (translated source), pre-order reservations on Samsung's official website have already exceeded 160,000 in the two weeks leading up to the devices' official reveal on July 9. This surpasses the pre-order numbers for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, which reached 1.02 million pre-orders. Despite last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 falling short of that benchmark, selling about 10% fewer units during the pre-order phase than their predecessors.
In South Korea, telecom providers are viewing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 launch as a prime opportunity to attract new customers. Additionally, recent regulatory changes in South Korea have allowed carriers to offer increased subsidies without disclosing the details of the deals, further incentivizing consumers to make the switch.
