At an event called Unpacked Part 2, Samsung followed up on its Galaxy Z Flip 3 andGalaxy Z Fold 3 announcement with more color options for its foldable devices.
The company didn't quantify demand for these devices, but it did say:
The Galaxy Z Fold3 has sold 5 times more units than the Galaxy Z Fold2 and the Galaxy Z Flip3 has sold 40 times more units than Galaxy Z Flip 5G during the same time period.
The color customization for Flip 3 is straight from Samsung's broader playbook. For instance, Samsung appliances have options where consumers can customize the color of home appliances (refrigerator doors with different colors, white and blue).
