Galaxy Z Fold 8 saw a surge in popularity as soon as Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo

Following Apple's unveiling of the iPhone Duo, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 experienced a significant increase in popularity, according to ETNews reports. In South Korea, sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 surged by approximately 10% compared to the week prior to the iPhone Duo's unveiling. This surge is believed to be a result of potential buyers who were uncertain about choosing between the two foldables, either walking away from the Apple presentation or being put off by the higher price tag.

Although the Fold 8 and iPhone Duo share similar price points in the US and other markets, there is a notable 1 million won ($700) difference in Korea. Despite this, Samsung still holds the lead in overall foldable market share.
