Samsung’s Galaxy Z8 Series is Bringing More Users into the Fold

One month after launch, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8, and Z Flip8 are showing how Samsung’s Galaxy Z series lineup is changing foldable preferences in the U.S.

Following a strong pre-order period, Samsung is seeing especially high demand for its new Fold designs. Combined purchases of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Fold8 in the U.S. are consistently tracking 30% ahead of Z Fold7, which set a pre-order record last year. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Fold8 make up roughly 80% of current Galaxy Z series purchases.

Shopper feedback indicates the two Z Fold designs are resonating for distinctly different reasons. Galaxy Z Fold8 shoppers were especially drawn to its thin and light design for greater portability, while also valuing its inner display for multitasking and content that better fills the screen. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra shoppers preferred its expansive screen, giving them more working space without the need for a separate tablet.

Building on last year’s trend, Galaxy Z Flip continues to win over buyers from other brands. Galaxy Z Flip7 drew more users from competing brands than any previous Galaxy Flip. This generation is going even further, with 30% of Galaxy Z Flip8 buyers switching from competing brands, and most of those buyers are first-time foldable owners.

Galaxy Z Flip continues to be an entry point to the Galaxy foldable experience before they move further into the Galaxy Z series portfolio. More than three times as many Z Flip users are upgrading to Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra devices compared to Galaxy Z Fold7.

These early purchase trends show more people are finding a foldable experience that works for them. With designs refined through eight generations of innovation, Samsung is expanding what’s possible with foldables while giving consumers the flexibility to choose the experience that fits the way they live, work, and create.
