Overview
- Initial 2026 targets reportedly call for about 3.5 million Galaxy Z Fold 8 units versus 2.5–3 million Galaxy Z Flip 8 units.
- If borne out, it would be the first time Samsung plans higher initial production for the book-style Fold than for the clamshell Flip.
- The figures are attributed to an unnamed South Korean report cited by SamMobile and Android Headlines, with GSMArena relaying similar insider chatter.
- Coverage notes the Fold 7 was said to have outsold the Flip 7 last year, with combined shipments around 6 million units.
- Separate rumors mention a wider Fold 8 variant and a low-volume TriFold, which reports suggest would not materially change mainstream Fold and Flip sales.
