Samsung Z Fold 8 Just Broke A 7-Year-Old Record 🚨 1.44 Million Preorders In A Week Samsung was taking about 140 preorders a minute for a solid week — and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 just broke a record that stood since 2019 👇 📊 THE NUMBERS • 1.44 million preorders in South Korea, July 28 to August 3 • Beats the Galaxy Note 10's 1.38 million (held since 2019) • Beats the Galaxy S26's 1.35 million • Up 39% from last year's Fold 7 + Flip 7 (1.04 million) 🔥 THE BIG ONE Foldables outsold the Galaxy S series for the first time ever. 📱 WHICH MODEL WON The standard Fold 8 — the new wide "passport" shape — pulled about 70% of all preorders on its own. The redesign clearly worked. 👥 THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT Female buyers in their teens through 30s more than doubled compared to the Fold 7, which had skewed heavily male. ⚠️ Worth being clear: this is South Korea only. Samsung hasn't released global numbers yet. Korea is their strongest market, so take it as a strong signal, not the full picture. Ships August 7th across 100+ countries. Apple's foldable lands in September for more than double the price. Does getting there first actually matter, or does everyone wait for Apple anyway?
