JAKARTA - The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 appear to be more popular than previous Galaxy foldable models. Now, the popularity of these Samsung phones appears to be so great that it has attracted thieves looking to steal large quantities.
Yonhap News TV (quoted by FNN News) reports that a truck carrying 12,000 Galaxy phones was stolen near London's Heathrow Airport. The shipment included 5,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 units, as well as 5,000 Galaxy Watch 8 units, along with older devices such as the Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy A16.
The theft is believed to have occurred after the shipment was transferred to a warehouse upon arrival at the airport.
Reports indicate that the cargo was valued at 13.3 billion won (IDR 157.3 billion), but there was no financial loss because the shipment was insured.
British police have launched a post-incident investigation and located the container in question, but it is unclear whether the Samsung products were recovered.
However, this incident may be an indication of the early popularity of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. Samsung previously reported that the Galaxy Z7 series broke pre-order records for Galaxy foldable phones in India, the United States, and Korea.
