Samsung's New Galaxy Z Foldable Phones Set Pre-Order Records in the US and Korea
Published
Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold smartphones are drawing strong interest from buyers before their official release. According to data shared with Mashable, pre-orders for the devices have reached record levels in the United States and South Korea.
The new phones are scheduled to go on sale on August 7. Foldable phones are smartphones with screens that bend or fold, so they can open into a larger display, like a small tablet, and close into a size that fits in a pocket. Samsung has sold foldable devices in the Galaxy Z series for several years, and the company has continued to update the design and features of each new model.
The record pre-orders show that many customers want to buy the new models before they reach stores. Pre-orders allow buyers to reserve a phone and receive it on or near the launch date. Records in two major markets, the United States and South Korea, suggest that demand for foldable phones is growing in different parts of the world.
The launch on August 7 will be an important test for the Galaxy Z series. Retailers and customers will soon be able to see whether the strong pre-order numbers lead to similar sales in stores and online. Readers who are interested in the new phones can check Samsung's official website or local retailers for pricing and availability.
