Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z8 series is off to a strong start in Southeast Asia and Oceania, with the new foldable lineup reaching a record-high volume of pre-orders in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The early demand is being led by the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Pre-orders for the two Fold models increased by almost 60% compared to the Galaxy Z Fold7, according to GadgetMatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is a notable jump for Samsung\u2019s latest foldable lineup, which includes the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Galaxy Z Fold8 has emerged as the most popular model so far. It currently accounts for almost six in every 10 Galaxy Z8 devices ordered in Southeast Asia and Oceania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Color choices also show where buyers are leaning. Graphite and Lavender were among the top picks for the Galaxy Z Fold8, while Violet Shadow and Graphite led for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. For the Galaxy Z Flip8, Pink and Graphite were the preferred options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 on July 22, 2026. The company positioned the lineup around three use cases: Ultra-level productivity, immersive discovery, and self-expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed around a new foldable experience for everyday content use, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings a larger workspace, upgraded performance, and an Ultra-level camera system to Samsung\u2019s foldable category. The Galaxy Z Flip8 focuses on quick interactions, personal expression, and Galaxy AI features through its FlexWindow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samsung also introduced the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 alongside the new foldables. GadgetMatch noted that the wearables are positioned around health and wellness management, giving buyers another reason to stay within the Galaxy ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Philippines, Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z8 series pre-order offers run until August 13, 2026. Customers can access launch deals such as double storage offers, trade-in savings, Samsung Care+, Google AI Pro access, and Galaxy wearable bundle discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samsung Philippines also lists 0% installment options of up to 36 months, guaranteed trade-in savings of up to \u20b114,000, and select Galaxy Watch or Buds discounts during the pre-order period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For online buyers in the Philippines, Samsung says pre-order offers run from July 22 at 9 PM PHT until August 13, 2026. The company also says Galaxy Z8 Series buyers can get a double storage upgrade discount, a trade-in bonus of up to \u20b114,000, up to 30% off Galaxy bundles, six months of Google AI Pro, and three months of Samsung Care+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strong pre-order performance suggests foldables are gaining more momentum outside their early adopter base. With the Fold8 leading early demand, Samsung may be seeing more buyers treat foldables as everyday flagship phones rather than experimental upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 event also drew attention on X, where the platform\u2019s event page highlighted the July 22 launch and the #GalaxyAI push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of this writing, the Galaxy Z8 series pre-order period in the Philippines remains open until August 13, 2026, with claiming schedules depending on the customer\u2019s pre-order date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
