Samsung Scales Back S25 Edge Production and Increases Galaxy Z Fold7 Output Before July 9 Unpacked

Poor early demand for its ultra-thin S25 Edge has led Samsung to cut output, reallocating manufacturing to boost Galaxy Z Fold7 deliveries in the US before the July 9 Unpacked event.

Overview

  • Sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge fell short of expectations, prompting Samsung to reduce production after users criticized its reduced battery life and limited camera features.
  • Samsung ramped up Galaxy Z Fold7 manufacturing to 600,000 units for the US market in June to ensure delivery ahead of potential tariff changes.
  • The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 will be officially unveiled at the July 9 Unpacked event in New York, featuring thinner designs, AI-powered One UI8 on Android 16 and the debut of the Exynos 2500 chipset in the Flip7.
  • One UI8’s beta program has been extended to Galaxy S24, Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 models ahead of a full summer rollout alongside the new foldables.
  • Rather than front-loading production, Samsung plans a steady increase in foldable output through July to match demand and mitigate inventory risks.
