Overview

• Investigators found the missing shipping container at a warehouse near Heathrow but device retrieval remains unconfirmed.
• The truck held roughly 12,000 Galaxy units—including Z Fold7, Z Flip7, Watch8 and other Galaxy models—valued at about $10.6 million, and Samsung says customer deliveries are still on schedule.
• Samsung has likely pushed remote blacklisting codes to prevent activation or resale of the stolen phones and watches.
• The shipment was insured, meaning Samsung will face minimal financial loss from the robbery.
• The heist has exposed vulnerabilities in high-value electronics logistics following record-breaking pre-orders for Samsung’s latest foldable phones.
