Sales of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 have actually increased since Apple released its first foldable, the iPhone Duo. This info is based on a report coming from Korea.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales increased following the iPhone Duo’s debut
The information claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales increased by 20% over the past week, following the iPhone Duo’s release. Just to be clear, we’re talking about the numbers since the phone was made available, not launched.
Why, though? Well, it kind of makes sense. The jump in sales is attributed to quality control controversies surrounding the iPhone Duo. To be more specific, the cracking displays that have been popping left and right.
Apple’s CEO claims that a very limited number of iPhone Duos are having issues
That seemingly pushed people to go for the Galaxy Z Fold 8. John Ternus, Apple’s new CEO, claims that a very limited number of iPhone Duos are having such issues, though, and that the company is in the process of replacing them.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 was in high demand since launch. 1.44 million pre-orders have been recorded in Korea alone, which is a substantial increase over the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Those numbers allowed Samsung to crush its previous records.
Samsung also offers several solid promotions for the device, which also helped it sell extremely well. That is especially true for South Korea, the company’s homeland.
The iPhone Duo is also selling really well, it seems
The iPhone Duo is allegedly selling really well despite these controversies, though. We still don’t have any specific numbers or anything like that, but reports have been claiming as much. Apple is also having issues getting enough units to sell, though that was expected months before the phone was announced. The company was simply unable to manufacture nearly enough devices for day 1.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and iPhone Duo are currently the most popular wide foldable phones on the market, though they’re not the only ones. The Xiaomi 18 Fold is available, though limited to China, and the same goes for the Huawei Pura X Max.
