Samsung Electronics has recorded its highest-ever pre-order sales in Southeast Asia and Oceania following the launch of the Galaxy Z8 series. Combined pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra have risen by nearly 60% compared with the previous Galaxy Z Fold7. With the regional pre-order period set to close on August 13, consumers still have a few days to take advantage of the available pre-order offers.

Since its global unveiling, the Galaxy Z8 series has received a strong response from consumers, with Southeast Asia and Oceania likewise showing robust demand for the latest foldable devices.
