Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 series shatters pre-order records in Europe

Samsung has announced record-breaking pre-orders for its new Galaxy Z Fold8 series of foldable phones, with a 17% increase over previous records and a 70% jump for the non-flip models compared to the Galaxy Z Fold7. The new Galaxy Z Fold8 model, featuring a distinct form factor, has captured significant consumer interest, accounting for 40% of European pre-orders and driving delivery date slips and sell-outs for popular colors. These strong sales figures are bolstered by pre-order incentives, including discounts and a six-month subscription to Google AI Pro. AI
