Here is the best-selling foldable smartphone globally


Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

The major players in the foldable smartphone market are Samsung and Huawei. However, with the ban on Huawei, the U.S. has succeeded in creating some sort of monopoly in the foldable smartphone segment. According to data from DSCC, the total shipments of foldable smartphones in the first quarter of 2022 were 2.22 million units. This is an increase of 571% over the same period last year. Among them, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 accounts for 51% of the market share of foldable smartphones worldwide. This makes it the best-selling foldable smartphone in the world in the first quarter.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has led the market for three consecutive quarters. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is the second most popular foldable smartphone in the first quarter. Samsung currently dominates the foldable smartphone market with a market share of 74%.

In addition, Huawei’s market share of the foldable smartphone market is also increasing, closely following Samsung. In the first quarter of this year, the company’s market share hit 20%, of which the sales of Huawei P50 Pocket played a big role. It could have been much higher but for the U.S. ban. Thus, Huawei and Samsung alone claim 94% of the global foldable smartphone market.
