Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders up 70% over Z Fold 7 in Europe

It looks like Samsung is riding a wave of success with the recent Z Fold 8 and 8 Ultra, as the Korean tech giant says they are the most pre-ordered foldables in Europe to date.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders up 70% over Z Fold 7 in Europe

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are leading the pack in Europe for foldable phone pre-orders, with a remarkable 70% year-over-year increase compared to the Z Fold 7. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 alone accounts for 40% of total European pre-orders, marking a significant milestone for the company. Combined, the Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip have surpassed previous pre-order records by over 17%, with pre-orders still open for one more day before on-sale on August 7, 2026.

This surge in pre-orders aligns with recent news that Z Fold 8 owners may be luring former Z Flip users due to its smaller form factor and enhanced inner-screen experience. The excitement among consumers across Europe signals a new benchmark in foldable phone innovation, setting the stage for the latest lineup to begin shipping out from August 7 to eager early adopters.
