Samsung Reportedly Sets Higher 2026 Build for Galaxy Z Fold 8 Than Z Flip 8

Industry reporting points to an initial production tilt toward the larger model that reflects last year’s unexpected surge in Fold demand.

Overview

  • Unnamed industry sources cited by ETNews and relayed by Ice Universe indicate targets of about 3.5 million Galaxy Z Fold 8 units versus roughly 2.5–3 million Galaxy Z Flip 8 units.
  • If borne out, this would mark the first time Samsung’s initial foldable plan favors the book-style Fold over the clamshell Flip.
  • Outlets stress these figures are early goals rather than confirmed shipments and could change before the expected H2 2026 launch window.
  • The reported tallies do not include other foldables, with a wider Fold variant pegged around 1 million units and a low-volume TriFold tracked separately.
  • Fresh listings in the GSMA IMEI database point to a wider Fold model with global and regional variants (SM-F971 series) using the internal code name H8, distinct from the regular Fold 8’s Q8.
