Credit: Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Z8 foldables have broken preorder records in Korea. 44 million units were preordered in Samsung’s home market, beating the record previously held by the Galaxy Note 10 range. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 accounted for roughly 70% of all preorders.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 series last month, and they’ll be available for pre-order until August 7. Preorders in Korea close today, though, and it turns out that these foldables helped Samsung break a long-standing record in its home market. 44 million Galaxy Z8 foldables were preordered in Korea.

38 million units, set by 2019’s Galaxy Note 10 series.
