Samsung users have stunned the market. The tech giant has captured the imagination of Indian consumers like never before, proving that premium innovation has found its perfect market. Hence, the boom in the market for foldable phones is not stopping.
Samsung Foldable Smartphones: Record-Breaking Success Story
The numbers speak for themselves. Samsung’s 7th generation foldable smartphone series has received an estimated 2.1 lakh orders within just 48 hours of its launch in India on July 9, 2025. Well, this is quite impressive to see that people are loving their new innovation.

What makes this success even more remarkable is how it compares to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series. The company revealed that these pre-order numbers are nearly equal to the pre-orders received for the Galaxy S25 earlier this year. To put this in perspective, Samsung had received a record 4.3 lakh orders for the Galaxy S25, but that was over a nearly 3-week period. For the first 48 hours alone, the numbers for both the S25 and the new foldable series are almost identical.
This comparison highlights just how eager Indian consumers are to adopt cutting-edge and foldable technology.
Meet The Game-Changing Lineup
Samsung’s 7th-generation foldable series brings three powerful devices to Indian shores, each targeting different segments of the premium market.
Galaxy Z Fold 7
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 represents Samsung’s most ambitious smartphone experience yet. Priced between ₹1.75 lakh and ₹2.11 lakh, this device promises to be powerful, immersive, intelligent, and portable, all in one package. The Fold 7 is designed for those who want a tablet-sized screen that fits in their pocket.
Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is priced between ₹1.10 lakh and ₹1.22 lakh, and takes a different approach. This device adapts and empowers the user, unlocking a smarter, more intuitive way to engage with the world. It is perfect for those who want innovation without compromising on style.
Perhaps the most exciting edition is the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, with prices starting from ₹89,000 and going up to ₹95,999. This device brings foldable technology to a broader audience, making premium innovation more accessible than ever before.
Samsung seems more committed to local manufacturing, as all these foldable smartphones carry the Made in India tag. This approach not only reduces the cost but also demonstrates the company’s confidence in the Indian market’s potential.
Market Competition And Position
Samsung faces strong competition in India’s smartphone market. According to IDC data, the Indian smartphone market is currently led by Vivo, which holds a 19.7% market share in Q1 2025. Samsung follows closely as the second-largest player with 16.4% of shipments.
Samsung’s main rival is Apple. However, these impressive pre-order numbers show that Samsung is successfully carving out its own space in the high-value segment.
What Does This Mean For Indian Consumers?
The response that Samsung has received through the new foldable series indicates several new and important trends:
- Indian consumers are increasingly willing to invest in premium technology that offers smart innovation.
- Young Indian consumers are proving their quick adaptation to new form factors and features.
- Despite the high prices, consumers see clear value in foldable technology’s unique benefits.
Samsung’s success with these foldable smartphones marks a turning point for the Indian market. If the company can maintain this momentum and continue improving accessibility through devices like the Z Flip 7 FE, we might soon see foldable phones becoming a common sight across India.
