Samsung Expands Foldable Smartphone Market with Galaxy Z Fold 8 Launch

Seoul, Thursday, 3 September 2026.
Samsung Electronics has officially introduced its Galaxy Z Fold 8 series in September 2026, targeting both high-end consumers and enterprise productivity users.

To accelerate adoption, major telecommunications carriers like AT&T are offering trade-in promotions worth up to $1,900 over 36 months, effectively dropping the retail starting price of $1,899 to $0 per month for qualified customers. Meanwhile, retailers have already discounted unlocked models by $300.
