Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra and Flip8 crossed 2.7 lakh India pre-orders within 72 hours. Demand is broadening beyond metros, with 45% from tier-2 cities and beyond; Samsung expects volumes comparable to its Galaxy S26 lineup.

Why this matters

The pre-order result follows Samsung India's launch of three new Galaxy foldables led by the Z Fold8 Ultra and its extension of EMIs to 30 months to deepen smaller-city smartphone reach.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,759 signals recorded over the past 90 days.
