Samsung will reportedly make an extra one million Galaxy Z Fold 8 units

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is an absolute smash hit, it seems, as Samsung will reportedly make an extra one million units of the wide foldable amid higher-than-expected demand. It’s abundantly clear that the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s new form factor is resonating with customers. The wider device launched to huge demand, with Samsung confirming much higher pre-order figures and some variants of the device going out of stock or seeing heavy delays amid the pre-order period that ended last week.
