Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6 get fewer pre-orders than last year's models in South Korea
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6, unveiled last week, were available for pre-order in multiple markets, including South Korea, where they received fewer pre-bookings than their predecessors.
The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip6 raked in 910,000 pre-orders until Thursday in Samsung's home country, which, though impressive, are less than 1.02 million pre-bookings for last year's Fold5 and Flip5. That's a decline of about 11 percent.
On the upside, Samsung's target audience - people in their 20s and 30s - made up more than 50% of the pre-order buyers for the first time, compared to 43% last year.
The Galaxy Z Flip6 also proved to be more popular, accounting for 60% of pre-bookings this year, while the Galaxy Z Fold6 made up 40% - an increase of 10% compared to the Fold5.
