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.
