Samsung confirms Galaxy Z Fold 8’s record-breaking sales numbers as pre-order deals are ending

According to Samsung's official confirmation, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has achieved record-breaking sales in South Korea within just a week of its release. The combined sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 reached 1.44 million units from July 28 to August 3, surpassing the previous record set by the Galaxy Note 10 back in 2019.

Pre-order deals for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series are now ending, despite the device's popularity and subsequent shipping delays. Samsung has introduced the "New Galaxy AI Subscription Club" during pre-sales, offering subscribers benefits like Care+ and increased device value for future trade-ins. However, the new foldable device has faced shipping delays, with August 7 release date shipments set to arrive later this week.

New orders are expected to be delayed until late August or even October in some cases. To take advantage of the current offers, including boosted trade-in values up to $1,200 and additional Samsung.com credit, customers should act promptly. Samsung's newsroom post details the festivities surrounding pre-sales in South Korea, including long lines for in-person purchases.
