SEOUL, July 31 (AJP) - Young consumers are leading preorders for Samsung Electronics' newest foldable phones. The electronics giant said Friday that with three days left in the preorder period for its Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8 which started earlier this week, about half of all preorders were placed by customers in their teens and 30s.
The most popular model among them was the Fold8, which Samsung attributed to its passport-like portability when folded and tablet-sized screen when unfolded, appealing to users who enjoy short-form videos, webtoons, and games.
