Samsung Electronics' new foldable smartphone series, the Galaxy Z8, recorded 1.44 million units in domestic pre-orders, breaking the record for the highest pre-orders in Galaxy smartphone history.

This is a new record for the first time in 7 years since the Galaxy Note10 in 2019, with the Fold8 accounting for 70% of total sales, while the proportion of customers in their 10s to 30s and female customers increased significantly to drive box-office success.

Samsung Electronics announced today that the domestic pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8, which ran from June 28 to July 3, reached 1.44 million units.

This surpasses the previous all-time high of 1.38 million units set by the Galaxy Note10 in 2019.

It also surpassed this year's Galaxy S26 series (1.35 million units) and last year's Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 (1.04 million units).

By model, the Galaxy Z Fold8 accounted for approximately 70% of total sales.

Samsung Electronics explained that the foldable technology accumulated over seven generations and consumer preference for the new form factor drove the sales.
