An overseas report claims the Galaxy Z Fold 8 saw a 10% increase in sales following the iPhone Duo. Consumers were interested in pricing details and more before deciding on a device, among other factors. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 was already incredibly popular for Samsung, shattering pre-order records and exceeding the Fold 8 Ultra and Flip 8.

It's just over a week since Apple's main event where it debuted the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone. The Chosun reported that Apple's event provided a noteworthy boost in Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales following the iPhone Duo's debut. Samsung observed a 10% boost in Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales following the iPhone Duo reveal. The report highlights the price difference between the two phones as one factor. In South Korea, there's a one million won difference. Also, there is no 1TB option for the Fold 8; the 2TB iPhone Duo costs five million won, while the Fold 8 starts at 2.2 million won.

Another factor: actually receiving the phone. Consumers can more readily purchase a Fold 8, but the iPhone Duo isn't set to appear until October. In the U.S., Apple said pre-orders begin October 16, but its market debut isn't until October 23.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 was already incredibly popular following its debut. After a week of pre-orders, the Fold 8 shattered expectations with its high volume. Inventory sold out online, and the Fold 8 far outpaced the Fold 8 Ultra and Flip 8.
