Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphones, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip FE (or Z Flip 7 FE), are generating considerable excitement and speculation. However, key details regarding their release dates and simultaneous announcements remain elusive.
One of the main points of discussion in recent months has been the choice of processors for each model. A Korean media report has shed light on this topic, hinting at Samsung’s initial production targets.
The company aims to produce around 160,000 units for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and 170,000 units for the Z Flip FE in the second quarter, while the Z Flip 7 is projected at a higher initial run of 240,000 units. This suggests that Samsung anticipates the Z Flip 7 to outperform its budget-friendly counterpart.
The sales performance of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is not expected to be groundbreaking. However, if consumer feedback is favorable, Samsung may adjust production numbers.
Notably, the production process is likely to start next month, supporting the idea of a joint announcement in July. The exact date remains uncertain, especially given the current economic climate affecting the mobile industry.
There’s also speculation surrounding the processors for these devices. It’s anticipated that the Z Flip 7 will feature the new Exynos 2500, while the Z Flip FE might have the older Exynos 2400e.
Additionally, rumors suggest a vibrant “Coral Red” color option for either the Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Z Flip FE, which would add a unique touch to Samsung’s foldable lineup. As Samsung prepares for these releases, it will be intriguing to see how consumers respond to these distinct devices.
