Gurugram,
August 2025.
Samsung's seventh generation
foldable smartphones - Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE - have seen
unprecedented demand in India and are stocked out in select markets, the
company said. Samsung had received over 2.1 lakh pre-orders for Galaxy Z Fold7,
ZFlip7 and Z Flip7 FE in the first 48 hours since their launch on July 9, 2025.
In the backdrop of the
stellar sales, Samsung Southwest Asia President and CEO JB Park said India is a
key strategic market with immense potential and a key pillar in Samsung’s
global future.
"Samsung remains
optimistic about India’s growth trajectory, driven by government initiatives
like Make in India, Digital India, and a robust digital ecosystem. Samsung
continues to invest in innovation, manufacturing, and local value addition,
aligning with India’s vision of a self-reliant economy," Park said.
The new foldable smartphones
- Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy ZFlip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE - are being manufactured
at Samsung's Noida factory. Indian engineers working at Samsung's R&D
facility in Bengaluru have played an important role in the development of the
new foldables, the company said.
"Samsung’s long-term
commitment to India remains unwavering, as we see the country as a cornerstone
of our global strategy. With 2 manufacturing plants, 3 R&D centers, and one
design center, Samsung India plays a crucial role in catering to both local
demand and global markets," Park added.
On Samsung's evolution
journey with foldables, Park said the concept is to make devices smaller.
"When we had a 5-inch
smartphone, we thought it was the biggest and most immersive. Now, the screen
size has gone to 6.9-inch and it's becoming bigger and bigger. Some smartphones
don't go into your pocket and they are hard to hold. So, we started thinking
about how we can make it into a small form factor. That's when we flipped it or
folded it. I think it's a trend that other brands are following," Park
said.
Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7
come with larger displays and are the best mobile devices for experiencing
artificial intelligence features, Park said.
