"Galaxy Z Fold 8's uptick in popularity ... immediately after Apple's iPhone Duo announcement"

  • This was due to people waiting for the Duo, and immediately disappointed.


"Sales may have grown even stronger after the iPhone Duo launch."

  • This was the ones still on the fence, but then disappointed later after the reviews came out.


tldr; Samsung Z Fold 8 sales increased after being disappointed in the Duo.

The duo looks like a cheap knock off look at any comparison video online... On top of that it's more expensive. Europeans aren't as blind sheep as Americans when it comes to expensive purchases.

"Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales may have grown even stronger after the iPhone Duo launch

Instead of negatively impacting the appeal of Samsung's latest and greatest foldables, the iPhone Duo may have helped the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra in Europe."

The title says it all, Samsung's Foldables have matured and offer a much better package than the competition, as a whole the Iphone Duo can't match the Fold 8, and potential buyers that were waiting for credible reviews have acknowledged that the Fold 8 is a much safer and better buy. 

Also apps do not look good at all in that front display, the way Apple handled the status icons just makes no sense and pushes the apps to the right side leaving a big vertical gap, the Fold 8 handles apps much better even the ones that haven't been optimized as of yet.

What percentage of this increase is due to availability? If all things equal and it has never sold out and always available, I find this very interesting. If it's something where it sold out at launch, and now they're gettng re-stocks, it's different.

It’s very simple—let the numbers speak for themselves. According to reports from Yahoo Finance, CNET, and other outlets, the iPhone Duo reached 6 million pre-orders in less then 30 minutes and was sold out under a hour.

I agree; it will be interesting to see the full numbers once they are finalized. Samsung has sold about 45 million foldables over the last eight years—a period covering the original Fold and Flip, the introduction of the tri-fold, and now the latest Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8. Apple jut did over 6 million pre orders but lets see the numbers when they come out.
