dubai — Looks like Samsung fans — and possibly even those new to the brand — continue to ‘flip’ out in the UAE.

The South Korean device-maker on Sunday announced that its newest foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Flip, has once again sold out for the second time.

Samsung started selling the Z Flip on February 14 and was sold out in just a day. It restocked on February 18 with the same result within days. As such, the company announced that it will have another supply replenishm­ent on February 26.

“The team is very encouraged by the positive response towards the Galaxy Z Flip in the UAE,” Osman Albora, head of Samsung Gulf Electronic­s’ mobile division, said in a statement to Khaleej Times.

“We have also seen a strong demand for the Mirror Purple colour variant which has proven to be highly popular with the UAE consumers. We are glad that the beautiful Galaxy Z Flip has resonated well with our customers and the team is sparing no effort to bring in even more Galaxy Z Flip into the hands of UAE consumers”.

Samsung says the device marks the “beginning of a new decade of foldable mobile innovation”. Its first foldable device, the Galaxy Fold that was launched last year, also received positive reviews.

The Galaxy Z Flip features an industry-first foldable glass display, and has a unique ‘Hideaway Hinge’. The smartphone comes with 256GB internal storage and is priced at Dh5,499 in the UAE.
