According to data released by market research company Counterpoint Research on September 11, in just the first 4 weeks of opening for sale in Europe, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 sold more than 250,000 units in Western Europe, double the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and nearly 70% of Samsung's previous best-selling foldable phone in the market, the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung's thinnest, lightest and most powerful book-based foldable phone to date, with an improved camera modular and advanced AI features of the Galaxy. Thanks to Samsung's market access and leading brand recognition, the Z Fold 7 has brought foldable smartphones to the mass market.
According to experts, the large number of sales of the Z Fold 7 series has helped foldable smartphones become more popular in Western Europe, a market that already has quite strict requirements. Major improvements in cameras and AI features are the main reason why the Z Fold 7 is widely accepted.
However, the competition for foldable smartphones in Western Europe will be very high in the coming time when Honor and Google have recently launched impressive products. Among them, Honor Magic V5, the world's thinnest foldable smartphone, with a large battery capacity and a competitive price is expected to be very popular.
In addition, next year, Apple will launch a foldable smartphone model, thereby making the race in this segment in Western Europe in particular and Europe in general very attractive.
