Samsung targetted Pokemon fans with the foldable Galaxy Z Flip 3, and the results suggest that it worked well. SamMobile reported that the Galaxy smartphone maker didn't reveal the number of units it sold of its new limited-edition Galaxy Z Flip 3, however, an official of the company anonymously admitted that the company is yet to decide whether the Pokemon-themed Galaxy Z Flip 3 will reach to the overseas markets like Europe and the US or not.

Not just that, the special offer on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 also included a free one-year Samsung Care+ plan on the house.
