Samsung seems to be out of folds, what might be seen as the future of smartphones and tablets. Of course, they have not been hugged wholeheartedly on the market, especially with relatively higher price labels. Samsung is rather aimed at that point this year, especially with Galaxy Z Flip 3 which is far more affordable which is reported quite well. That, in turn, seems to have spurred Samsung to establish higher views in 2022, aim to produce and sell almost 10 million units of his folded cellphone, in turn, can reach a fifth of the target volume next year.
Foldable and interesting folding devices, but they are still far from being a cellular partner that we can need for everyday use (and every night). Concerns about durability are still lingering, even with a stronger ultra-thin material and a new “aluminum armor” frame used by 2021 generations of Samsung. While the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is clearly cheaper, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is almost evens because a special pen is a separate purchase.
It seems that the Galaxy Z Flip 3, however, sells well enough that it affects Samsung’s plan for 2022. According to a report from South Korea media, the company allocates around 10 million units of its production capacity to folding devices. Of these, 2.9 million will be for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, while the impressive 6.9 million units of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be produced.
It is a very ambitious number, considering how young and unstable the folding telephone market at this time. There are also actual production problems issues, from the level of flexible screen themselves to the ongoing component supply problem for semiconductors. Chipmaker like Intel does not estimate the situation to increase until the end of 2022 or even early 2023.
These numbers signal Samsung’s confidence on fold, even though they are still not enough to go to the head with the Galaxy S series. As for the Galaxy S22, Samsung plans to make 14.1 million Galaxy S22 units, 7.9 Galaxy S22 + Units, and 10.9 Galaxy S22 Ultras. These numbers reflect the experience of Samsung in the past, wher
