Last month Samsung Electronics announced its latest foldable OLED smartphone lineup, the Galaxy Z8, with three models, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8. Last week we reported that the new series set a record preorder sales, with over 1.44 million preorders in Korea in the first week.
It turns out that the new wide-format Z Fold 8 is especially popular, and Samsung has decided to produce more units than it anticipated, and has reached out to its component suppliers asking to add 1 million units, bringing the total production to over 3 million units.
