Samsung is adding 1 million Galaxy Z Fold 8 units to production after record pre-orders, ahead of Apple's iPhone Fold launch in September. Samsung's original Z Fold 8 plan was 2.8 million units; the extra 1 million raises total to about 3.8 million. South Korea pre-orders hit 1.44 million, a company record, with 70% for the Z Fold 8. Apple's iPhone Fold is rumored to cost $2,000-$2,400, higher than the Z Fold 8's $1,899. Samsung's wide design has been praised, though it lacks a telephoto camera and battery trade-offs.
