Reports of spotty quality assurance and breaking displays have scared off potential iPhone Duo buyers, driving them toward Samsung. A report from South Korea states that Galaxy Z Fold8 sales increased by more than 20% in a week after the Duo started shipping. Samsung is extending the subscription period for the New AI Subscription Club by a month until November, allowing users to trade in old devices for new foldables.
Members on the 1-year plan are guaranteed a 50% buy-back, with 40% for the 2-year plan and 25% for the 3-year plan. Trade-ins at automated Mintit ATM kiosks include a KRW 100,000 ($75) bonus. Additionally, Samsung is running a "Galaxy End of the Year Fiesta" promo campaign until December 31 with in-store shopping perks.
In Europe, the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra beat Z Fold7 sales by 45%. Samsung is seizing the moment as iPhone Duo woes benefit its foldable lineup.
