Samsung aims to ship 2.4M Galaxy Z Fold 7 phones this year, a 9% increase from the Z Fold 6

Samsung expects to ship 2.4 million units of its flagship Galaxy Z Fold 7 and 2.3 million units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 this year.

In a new report from TheElec, the total foldable smartphone production plan for Samsung was recently shared with its component partners for 2025 is 6.1 million units, the same goal for foldable production in 2024. The production plan model includes 2.4 million units of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, 2.3 million units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, 700,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 SE, 100,000 units of its upcoming tri-fold phone, and 600,000 units of its legacy foldables.

Samsung has experienced double-digit global pre-orders for its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldables compared to the same period as last year, which is promising for the foldable phone leader.

Samsung recently tested its new foldable OLED panel inside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with testing to fold the phone over 100 times per day, and handle that everyday folding for 10 years. It's an impressive technical feat for Samsung Display's foldable OLED panels, and its Galaxy Z Fold 7 being impressively thin with a gorgeous foldable OLED panel, and it's no wonder pre-order sales are up.

Apple will reportedly introduce the foldable iPhone in 2026 which will be directly fighting Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7, and then being tackled by the next-gen Galaxy Z Fold 8 (which is rumored to drop the titanium backplate from the Z Fold 7 for a cheaper backplate).
