Following reports from the media, Samsung has officially confirmed the initial record-breaking sales numbers for its Galaxy Z Fold 8 right as pre-order deals are coming to their end. In a post on its newsroom, Samsung confirms that the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 have collectively sold 1.44 million units during the 7-day period from July 28 to August 3 – and that’s just in South Korea. It breaks a record previously set by the Galaxy Note 10 back in 2019. This comes, though, as Samsung is ending pre-order deals for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. While shipments are set to arrive later this week for the August 7 release date, new Galaxy Z Fold 8 orders are delayed out to late August or September, with some variants delayed all the way into October.
