Galaxy Z Fold 8's popularity may have skyrocketed after nearly a week of pre-orders

Early reports say Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders are beating expectations and outselling both the Fold 8 Ultra and Flip 8.

Tipsters and early customers claim Samsung’s online stock has sold out, with delivery dates slipping in South Korea.

If accurate, the response suggests strong demand for Samsung’s new wide foldable and a possible shift in the Galaxy Z lineup.

The reports also point to growing interest in a more pocketable foldable form factor.
