Information has emerged that Samsung has launched mass production of new foldable smartphones Galaxy Fold 7 and Galaxy Flip 7. This was reported by PhoneArena, citing insider PandaFlash.
Production reportedly started in May as planned, although the company has reduced production volumes this year due to a lack of sales expectations in the foldable segment.
According to sources, Samsung has decided to produce only 3 million units of the Flip 7 and 2 million units of the Fold 7, which is 40% less than the previous generation. In addition to smartphones, accessories for these models have also been put into production. The first tri-folding Galaxy smartphone is also expected to appear later this year, but its production volume is even lower - only 200 thousand units.
The Galaxy Fold 7 will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is used in the entire Galaxy S25 series. As for the Flip 7, there is no final data yet: test variants with the Exynos 2500 chip have previously been spotted in benchmarks, but Samsung may not have had time to prepare the Exynos in time, so the device may also get a Snapdragon chip.
Samsung continues to improve its foldable smartphones, although demand for them remains lower than expected. Time will tell whether the new generation can turn things around.
