Although the sale did not officially begin until Friday, August 27, people could pre-order the phones from their official introduction – more than two weeks. Even before the start of sales, it was clear that the interest in the news would be huge.

“We had high expectations, but even those pre-orders exceeded. Once again, it shows how Czechs and Slovaks are progressive and hungry for new technologies, “said Tomáš Balík, Samsung’s Director of Mobile for the Czechia and Slovakia.

He reminded that the first generation of phones with a flexible display was introduced by Samsung in 2019. “Now comes a certain turning point. The third generation, which brings several important improvements, shows that folding phones have the potential to become the new common standard. The numbers of pre-orders confirm this, “added Balík.

There was a lot of interest in the cheaper Galaxy Z Flip3 model, which is sold out with a larger 256GB variant at most retailers. For example, the purple variant is not available even in the case of the 128GB version. The green version of the Galaxy Z Fold3 model, which is sold out, was also more popular.

Prices have fallen
The new smartphones are probably also more popular thanks to the fact that Samsung has introduced more attractive price tags for both new products. For the Z Flip3 5G model, the purchase price fell compared to its predecessor from CZK 42,999 to CZK 26,999 for the basic model with 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage. The version with 256GB storage will then cost CZK 28,999.

A novelty is the support of the S Pen touch pen.

From Flip3, it is again a design gem. It uses the folding construction so that it does not take up so much space in the pocket. In essence, it has the dimensions of a classic smartphone, but you can fold it in half in half. When closed, there is also a simple information display on the outside. However, it is much larger than its predecessor.
