Samsung Electronics' new foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8 series, have seen such strong pre-order demand that the activation period for pre-order customers has been extended until the end of this month.
On August 5, Samsung announced on its website that the pre-orders for the 'Fold 8 Ultra 1TB' and 'Fold 8' models exceeded the available stock, prompting the extension of the pre-activation period to the end of this month.
The initial pre-activation period was set from August 4 to August 7.
With this extension, pre-order customers who complete their activation by the end of the month will still receive the same benefits as before, including the 'Double Storage' offer.
Samsung is offering a promotion where customers who purchase the 256GB model will receive a 512GB model for free. Additionally, customers who buy the 512GB model can upgrade to the 1TB model for an additional payment of 310,700 won.
As the official launch on August 7 approaches, the Fold/Flip 8 series has surpassed 1.44 million units in domestic pre-sales, breaking the previous record set by the Galaxy Note10 in 2019. The Fold8 model accounted for 70% of the total pre-orders, driving the impressive sales figures.
