With the highly anticipated release of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 just nine days away, Samsung's foldable phones are generating significant excitement worldwide as they are available for pre-order. Samsung has high hopes for this year's sales, aiming to surpass the numbers achieved last year. Interestingly, despite both foldables being the center of attention, the clamshell-style Galaxy Z Flip 5 appears to be gaining more attention, particularly in South Korea, where it has garnered considerable buzz among consumers. The demand for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 showcases the growing popularity of compact and stylish foldable devices in the market.

According to a recent report, pre-sale figures from South Korea reveal that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 holds a significant 70% share, while the Galaxy Z Fold 5 only occupies the remaining 30%. This outcome may come as a surprise to some, considering that the latter is a proper foldable and comes with a higher price tag. However, several factors contribute to the higher demand for the clamshell-style Galaxy Z Flip 5. The device has seen notable improvements over its predecessor, featuring an upgraded cover display that allows users to perform various tasks without having to unfold the phone continuously.
