Samsung Hikes Fold8 Production as Pre-Sales Surge 30%, Led by Young Women

Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) reports global Galaxy Z Fold8 pre-sales jumped 30% over the previous model.

The company secured a record 1.44 million pre-orders in South Korea for the new foldable lineup.

Purchases by women in their teens to 30s more than doubled compared to the previous generation.

Samsung attributes the growth to a new, wider design that improves device usability.

Strong demand in Japan caused several models to sell out.

Samsung reportedly increased production by one million units to meet the surge.
