Some 14.2 million folding smartphones were sold throughout the world in 2022, according to figures from Canalys published by the Financial Times. The vast majority of them are Samsung models.

Canalys estimates that just under 1.2 billion smartphones were sold in 2022 around the world, which represents a 17% decrease from 2021. This means that only a little more than 1% of sales involved a folding smartphone.
