<\/a>All three Galaxy Z foldables are expected to launch this week.<\/p>\n

Samsung has reportedly raised initial Galaxy Z Fold 8 production numbers, signaling confidence that the wider 4:3 model will outsell both the Z Fold 8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 8. The shift comes as Apple prepares a rumored foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n

It’s raining cats and dogs. Or rather, it’s raining Samsung leaks<\/a>, rumours<\/a> and new reports<\/a> as Wednesday’s Galaxy Unpacked<\/a> event draws near. One such report<\/a>, citing industry sources, states that the South Korean tech giant has significantly ramped up production of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a> \u2014 a new model expected to feature a wide, 4:3-ratio display \u2014 to 2.8 million units for the initial run, up from the originally planned figure of 2 million. <\/p>\n

The shift is striking because Samsung had initially intended to split manufacturing evenly between the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra, keeping room for adjustment based on demand. The revised production targets suggest Samsung expects the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 to become its best-selling foldable. As for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra<\/a> and Galaxy Z Flip 8<\/a>, production estimates are 2 million and 1.5 million units, respectively. <\/p>\n

Analysts also partly link the move to Apple, which is rumored to be preparing its own foldable iPhone<\/a> for a launch later this year with a similar 4:3 display. Other industry voices suggest that the aspect ratio is becoming a de facto standard for the category. In any case, time will tell. All three Samsung devices are expected to debut this week<\/a>, alongside pricier tags related to ongoing memory-chip shortages.<\/p>\n

I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Having studied philosophy and anthropology, I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u24d8 Samsung, Roland Quandt, edited with ChatGPT All three Galaxy Z foldables are expected to launch this week.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[936,569,16906,237173,237172,107825,7304,570,61,4178,60,562,4025,27342,2720,202,568,561,571,6003,567,563,564,4179,573,164225,575,80,566,565,92288,205412],"class_list":["post-561189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-apple","tag-benchmarks","tag-display","tag-flip8","tag-fold8","tag-foldables","tag-galaxy","tag-graphics-card","tag-ie","tag-iphone","tag-ireland","tag-laptop","tag-launch","tag-leaks","tag-manufacturing","tag-mobile","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-processor","tag-production","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-rumors","tag-samsung","tag-shortages","tag-smartphones","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests","tag-ultra","tag-unpacked"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
