Samsung’s โgalaxy Z Foldโฃ 7 Gains Traction, Perhaps at โคtheโ Expense ofโ Ultra Sales
PARIS – Samsung is experiencing strong market interest in its newly released Galaxy Z Foldโ 7, but the foldable’s success โis raising concerns about potential sales cannibalizationโฃ within the company’s โคownโ productโข line, โspecifically itsโฃ historically profitable Galaxy S Ultra โฃseries.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 boasts โimprovements includingโข a thinner and lighter design, utilizing โขaโ Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, up to 16 GB of โคRAM, and aโ 200-megapixel main โฃsensor. Durability has been enhanced with aโ newโ Armor โFlexHinge, Gorilla glass Ceramic 2, and โขan IP48 certificationโฃ for water and dust resistance. While S Pen support has been dropped to prioritize a slimmer profile, the device integrates AI-powered features like Photo Assist and Transcript Assist.
Samsung acknowledges aโ shift in consumer โฃpreference, with buyers previously optingโข for the Galaxy S Ultra now โincreasingly choosing the Fold 7. โคThis trend presents โคa challenge for samsung, requiring a โขre-evaluation โฃof its โคproduct catalog to maintain the strength of its Ultra โline.
“The question for Samsung isโ thereforeโฃ no longer whether foldables can convince the general public – the answer is now clear – but how to manage cohabitation โคwith โits customary flagship products,” the report states.
The โGalaxy โZ Fold 7 representsโฃ a turning point for foldable โsmartphones, transitioning them from niche, high-end curiosities โto viable alternatives to conventional models with broader consumer appeal.
