Galaxy Z Fold8 Duo and Flip8 Exceed Samsung's Pre-Order Targets in Europe

Samsung said the three new foldables beat last year’s European preorder total by 20% in 11 days, with the Fold8 taking nearly 40%.

  • On Friday, August 7, Samsung will release the Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, with preorders already breaking records across all previous Z-series models globally.
  • Improved display technology has driven market interest in foldables as early adopters moved beyond the gimmicky reputation of earlier, expensive models with visible creases.
  • South Korean customers placed 1.44 million preorders within seven days, surpassing the Galaxy Note10 series record, while European preorders grew 20% year-on-year with the Fold8 accounting for nearly 40% of demand.
  • In India, customers placed 271,000 orders within 72 hours, while United States preorders outpace previous Z-series records by 30%, with the Fold8 accounting for nearly half of American preorders.
  • Despite the nearly $1,900 cost for the Fold8 and $2,100 price for the Fold8 Ultra, consumers are purchasing the new hardware in record numbers, signaling strong market confidence in premium foldables.
