Samsung has reported that its latest foldable phones are outperforming the previous generation across Europe.
According to figures shared by the company, combined sales of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra are 50% higher than sales of the Galaxy Z Fold7 over the same period last year. That comparison sets two current models against a single prior-year device, and it does not factor in Z Flip sales, as reported by GSMArena.
The sales figure follows earlier data from August, when Samsung said pre-orders in Europe for the Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Flip8 came in 20% higher than pre-orders for the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 a year earlier. Unlike the later sales statistic, that pre-order figure included the Z Flip line.
