Galaxy Z Fold7: Samsung's most expensive phone series receives good response in India

Samsung earlier this month launched a new line of Galaxy Z Fold7, Flip7 and Flip7 FE series in India. All the premium Android phones received a good response with more than 2,10,000 pre-orders.

Now, the South Korean technology major has revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold7, which is the most expensive among the lot, has been sold out across major cities in India.

To cater to the demand, Samsung has taken necessary steps at its manufacturing factory in Noida to ramp up the production of the Galaxy Z Fold7 units in India.

“We would like to thank India’s tech-savvy consumers for giving the Galaxy Z Fold7 a blockbuster start. We are aware that many markets in the country are facing a shortfall due to huge demand. We are working overtime to ensure adequate supplies of our most advanced smartphone, to enable customers to enjoy the Galaxy Z Fold7 at the earliest. The strong demand is coming from both retail markets and online platforms,” said Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.
