Tech Advisor: Delayed Release of Select Galaxy Z Fold 8 Models until October

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Breaks Pre-Order Records in South Korea

Samsung’s latest offering, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, has surpassed all expectations with a record-breaking 1.44 million pre-orders in South Korea. This figure exceeds the pre-orders for previous Samsung Galaxy series, including the Galaxy Note 10, making it a significant milestone for the company.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 has also seen high demand in other regions, leading to delays in the UK and US markets. Customers in these regions may have to wait weeks or even months for their desired color and storage options, despite the absence of Samsung’s usual double storage promotion.

According to the US store, popular combinations of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 are experiencing delivery delays due to overwhelming demand.

When it comes to specific color and storage options, the exclusive Pistachio variant is causing longer delays in delivery. Here is a breakdown of the expected delays in the UK and US:

UK Delays:

• 256GB – Pistachio or Cream: Expected delivery on 21 August
• 512GB – All colors: Expected delivery on 21 August
• 1TB – Pistachio, Cream, or Graphite: Expected delivery on 21 August

US Delays:

• 256GB – Pistachio or Cream: Expected delivery on 21 August
