Samsung said its latest range of foldable phones, launched in late July, is outpacing pre-order sales of last year’s version by 30 percent, as it faces the imminent launch of an Apple iPhone foldable.
The company said it has sold 1.44 million of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra and Flip 8 handsets, a level previously reached during pre-orders by the Galaxy Note 10 in 2019.

New form-factor
The eighth-generation foldable range is made up of the small, vertical-format Flip 8, the tall and thin Fold 8 Ultra, and the Fold 8, which uses a new, passport-shaped form-factor that’s also expected to be used by the foldable iPhone.
