Foldable phones may still be controversial, but that doesn’t seem to be hurting sales, with Samsung announcing a big milestone for the latest Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 even before they arrive in stores. Preorders for the two new Android devices began 10 days ago, but Samsung says they’ve already blasted through a 2021 sales record. In fact, Samsung says, preorders for the Fold 3 and Flip 3 – priced from $1,999 and $999 respectively – have now exceeded total global Samsung foldables sales so far in 2021. It’s apparently the strongest preorder phase for a Samsung foldable launch that the company has seen. It’s worth noting that Samsung isn’t actually talking specifics, and has been tight-lipped overall on sales numbers for foldable phones so far. The company declined to share any actual details on how many devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 2 or Galaxy Z Flip 5G it had sold in the eight months of 2021 we’ve seen so far.
