Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is surprisingly popular | Infinium-tech

Last week’s survey ended with interesting results – the Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold is surprisingly popular. Well, many people are turned off by its price, but those people still find the form factor attractive.

Add in those who are willing to spend as much as is necessary to get into the new form factor early, plus those who are waiting, and the Z Trifold crosses the 50% mark. It’s rare for a new idea in the mobile space to get so much support out of the gate – super-slim phones experienced quite the opposite.

What we found particularly interesting was how the Z Trifold outperformed the Galaxy Z Fold7 in this survey. The Z Fold7 launch marks the first time that Samsung has a foldable that might attract people away from the S Ultra. Sales figures support this – in the US market, about 30% of Z Fold7 buyers were former S Ultra owners. Still, we would have thought that the thicker and heavier tri-fold model would be a niche product while the thinner bi-fold would be the more popular option.

However, Samsung has reason to be concerned. The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate proved quite popular despite being decked out to the contrary. As you remember, the Mate XT Ultimate came first. However, Huawei (which was once the largest Android maker) was forced out of the global market – it is rebuilding, but its reach is no longer what it used to be.
