Summary
Samsung plans an initial 2.8 million-unit run for the wider Galaxy Z Fold 8, ahead of 2 million Fold 8 Ultra units and 1.5 million Flip 8 units, ETNews reported.
That lineup marks a shift from earlier generations, when Samsung typically emphasized the Galaxy Z Flip series more heavily than its Fold models.
The heavier weighting toward the wider, cheaper Fold 8 suggests Samsung expects the new form factor to draw stronger demand, though production targets can still change with sales trends.
Overall foldable output is still projected at about 5.5 million to 6 million units this year, roughly in line with last year after the Fold 7 helped volumes top 6 million.
