Part of the reason the Z Flip 4 and 5 sold so well is that Samsung gave absolutely insane trade in deals to Americans. I think I paid something crazy like $50 or $100 for my Flip 5. I’m not entirely sure why they did this. I guess it was to help generate popularity, but it wasn’t exactly a sustainable business model. They did NOT do the crazy deals for the Flip 6, so it obviously sold significantly worse.
