Galaxy Z Fold 8 destroys pre-order record set by the late Note 10, and it isn’t over yet

Galaxy Z Fold 8 destroys pre-order record set by the late Note 10, and it isn’t over yet

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, including the Flip 8, has shattered pre-order sales records, surpassing the previous high set by the Galaxy Note 10. This surge in demand has caused the company’s website to experience difficulties in handling the influx of orders, leading to shipping delays. According to a recent report by Yonhap News Agency, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 have collectively reached a milestone of 1.44 million units sold during the pre-order phase.

This record-breaking figure is anticipated to grow further as the pre-order period concludes on August 7. The Galaxy Z Fold 8’s popularity is attributed to its newly appealing design. The Galaxy Note 10, which held the previous record in 2019, sold 1.38 million devices during its pre-order period. Other devices, such as the Galaxy S26 series, also lag behind with 1.35 million units sold.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra are still available for purchase, although customers should expect possible delays in receiving their devices. Despite the shipping setbacks, Samsung’s offers remain competitive, making the Galaxy Z Fold 8 an attractive choice for tech enthusiasts.
