Samsung says Fold 8 sales in Europe are up 45% on the Fold 7
Samsung's big foldables are outselling last year's in Europe, and searches for them spiked the week Apple showed the iPhone Duo. If you're in Europe and want one before the holidays, the Fold 8 is on sale now, while new U.S. iPhone Duo orders ship in January.
Hours of video playback, as each phone's own company reports it. A phone whose company gives only a typical-use figure or a battery capacity is not on this chart: those are different measures.

Samsung launched the Galaxy W27 in China, a two-tone, gold-accented take on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra for business and luxury buyers. It starts at CNY 18,999 (about $2,850) with 512 GB, and adds emergency calls and texts over the Tiantong satellite network.
Samsung's big foldables are outselling last year's in Europe, and searches for them spiked the week Apple showed the iPhone Duo. If you're in Europe and want one before the holidays, the Fold 8 is on sale now, while new U.S. iPhone Duo orders ship in January.
If the leak holds, Motorola's answer to the wide foldable is the smallest of the group. It is a leak of a device with a working name, not an announcement.
