- Some people who have pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and other new devices have received emails informing them of delays in shipments.
- It seems that many people need to wait until September.
- Samsung’s email cited higher-than-expected demand as the reason.
The pre-orders of Samsung’s new equipment began on August 11. The company stated that shipments of these pre-ordered products should arrive on or before August 27, when full-scale sales begin on the same day. However, Samsung seems to be struggling to keep up.
Samsung said these delays were due to high demand for these new products. This is consistent with what we have heard about new equipment bookings exceeding Samsung’s highest forecast.
So far, we have not seen any reports of these emails affecting American customers. However, there are quite a few reports about these landings in Germany, so we expect it will only be a matter of time before people receive them in other countries.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3 and the new smart watch have been well received on the Internet. Samsung seems to have three winners on hand. However, please note that there is no report about the delay of Galaxy Buds 2.
