The Elec informs that Samsung will extend the production of Galaxy Z Fold2 worldwide; Most of the units will still be produced by the plant in Gumi, South Korea, but 20% of the volume will be handled by Samsung’s factory in Vietnam. and a smaller percentage will be manufactured in Brazil.
In total, Samsung plans to produce between 700,000 and 800,000 units, but plans change weekly; it really depends on how well the Z Fold2 does in the market. This means that between 140,000 and 200,000 phones will be manufactured at the Vietnamese plant.
Production in Brazil will begin next month and will only ship a few thousand units this year. It is not very clear if these are destined for the local market (which has high import taxes for phones made abroad) or if they will also be exported.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 in Mystic Bronze and Black
Regardless, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 will launch in two standard colors: Black and Mystic Bronze. The company will produce more units of the latter as it is the hero’s color for 2020 and has proven to be a success.
The Thom Browne edition is expected to go into production a bit later and be made in Vietnam. That factory already has experience making the Z Flip (the original Galaxy Fold was made only at the Gumi factory).
In case you missed it, Samsung will wrap up the presentation of the Galaxy Fold2 tomorrow in an additional Unpacked event. The original presentation was at the Note20-centric event, but the company saved some details, including pricing.
