We previously heard that the phone achieved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-us-pre-orders-3582780\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more pre-orders than its predecessors<\/a> in key markets, and another report has revealed encouraging sales news for Samsung.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/counterpointresearch.com\/en\/insights\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold7-makes-foldables-mainstream-in-western-europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Counterpoint Research<\/a> reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has become the fastest-selling Galaxy foldable in Western Europe. The tracking firm reported that Samsung sold over 250,000 units in Western Europe during its first four weeks of availability.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How does this compare to previous models, though? Well, Counterpoint says this more than doubles the Z Fold 6\u2019s own sales figures in the region during the same time frame. Furthermore, these sales figures are almost 70% greater than Samsung\u2019s previous top-selling foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 4.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also more than any book-type or clamshell foldable smartphone from any other OEM so far in the region,\u201d the tracking firm adds. That\u2019s major news for Samsung as entrants like HONOR, Google, and Motorola compete with their own offerings.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_3g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 counterpoint research Western Europe\"  alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 counterpoint research Western Europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Fold-7-counterpoint-research-Western-Europe.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Why did the Z Fold 7 deliver such impressive sales figures? If you thought it was because the new foldable phone was a huge upgrade, you\u2019d be correct.<\/p>\n<p>Counterpoint Research Associate Director Jan Stryjak explained the phone\u2019s appeal:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>After years of iterative upgrades, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is a major step forward, and Samsung has finally closed the gap on the competition. It is Samsung\u2019s thinnest and lightest book-type foldable yet, and with its improved camera module and advanced Galaxy AI features, the brand seems to have finally brought foldable smartphones to the mass market.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In any event, these sales figures are a clear illustration of what\u2019s possible when Samsung actually tries to deliver a major upgrade. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the lightest book-style foldable on the market, and it\u2019s also the thinnest model by some measures. By contrast, the Z Fold 5 and 6 were significantly thicker and heavier than rivals at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
