Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 sales 4% higher compared to their predecessors
The sales of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 reached the 4.86 million mark three months after their launch. That is a minuscule 4% improvement compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 from last year over the same period. Over 3.08 million Galaxy Z Flip 5 were sold, while the sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 reached 1.79 million. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 sales were 2.87 million and 1.81 million units, respectively, last year after the same period.
Despite intense competition in the mid-range market, Galaxy A series smartphones sold well. Due to the lack of newer phones, Samsung's overall sales decreased by 8% in October of this year compared to October 2022. Sales in October declined by around 2% compared to September 2023.
Author's Note: For the first time in its history, Samsung used a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in all its phones across the world. The Snapdragon Gen 2 turned out to be an excellent chip in terms of raw performance, optimization, and power efficiency. As a result, all Galaxy S23 series phones offer the best battery life ever seen in Samsung smartphones. This could be a major part of the reason why sales of the Galaxy S23 series sales increased compared to the Galaxy S22 series.
