Truong Xuan, a consumer in Hung Yen Province, found wide price differences while shopping for the newly launched Galaxy Z Fold8, which carries an official price of VND47 million.<\/p>\n

Major electronics retailers were offering discounts of around VND5 million, bringing the price down to roughly VND42 million. Some chains lowered it further to about VND39 million by combining trade-in bonuses with loyalty-program incentives.<\/p>\n

Smaller retailers offered even better deals. By giving up bundled gifts, Xuan could buy a new Z Fold8 for around VND37 million. On major e-commerce platforms, models listed at VND40\u201342 million could effectively cost just over VND36 million after store and platform vouchers were applied.<\/p>\n

The other two foldable phones released in Vietnam on Aug. 8 are seeing similar markdowns.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z Flip8, officially priced at VND32 million, is available for around VND23\u201324 million, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra can be found for about VND43 million, roughly VND10 million below its listed price.<\/p>\n

As a result, real-world prices of the Z Flip8 and Z Fold8 are now close to those of their predecessors.<\/p>\n

A representative of electronics retailer CellphoneS said the Z Fold8\u2019s redesigned screen proportions have emerged as one of its biggest attractions this year.<\/p>\n

The chain sold around 1,100 units during the first three days, up 70% from the corresponding period last year.<\/p>\n

Demand has been concentrated heavily on the larger foldable models. The Z Fold8 accounted for about 60% of sales at CellphoneS, while the Z Fold8 Ultra made up 35%, leaving only a small share for the Z Flip8.<\/p>\n

Samsung Vietnam said pre-orders for the new generation were 2.4 times higher than for the previous lineup, with the Z Fold8 accounting for more than half of orders.<\/p>\n

Strong demand has also been reported in Samsung\u2019s home market. The 2026 Galaxy Z series generated 1.44 million pre-orders in South Korea, surpassing the previous record of 1.38 million units set by the Galaxy Note10 in 2019 and the 1.35 million pre-orders recorded by the Galaxy S26 earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z8 series made its global debut at Samsung\u2019s Unpacked 2026 event in London on July 22 and went on sale in Vietnam on Aug. 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Truong Xuan, a consumer in Hung Yen Province, found wide price differences while shopping for the newly launched…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862546,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,300027,61],"class_list":["post-862545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-samsungs-new-foldables-sell-for-up-to-400-below-list-prices-in-vietnam-vnexpress-international","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
