Demand for this Galaxy Z Fold 8 color is nuts

Samsung has restocked the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in this color for all three storage variants

If you stream movies often, the screen on this Galaxy Z Fold 8 variant is perfect for you

That tells us that Sammy either produced more Lavender Galaxy Z Fold 8 units than other colors, or demand for the phone in this color is not strong. But let's forget Lavender for now and focus on the overall strong demand for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which probably has to do with its new form factor and the 4:3 aspect ratio for the internal screen, making it perfect for watching videos or reading books.

Would you agree with those who say the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is misnamed?

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra looks very much like last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7, but sports a larger 5000mAh battery with faster 45W charging. There is an upgraded 50MP ultra-wide camera and a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor under the hood.

When you can expect certain Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra pre-orders to arrive

Those who pre-order the 1TB Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra are all about the brag. These are the buyers who feel compelled to spend $2,700 just so they can look down their noses at you and say, "Well, my Galaxy Z Fold 8 with 1TB of storage can hold between 100,000 and 200,000 standard photos. How many images can your new phone store?"

If you pre-order a 1TB Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the Green Shadow or Cream-colored models will arrive by August 21. The phone in Graphite will get to you by August 14, and the Violet Shadow should be in your hands by August 7. If the color of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra you buy doesn't matter to you (and if you plan on using a case, as you should, it shouldn't matter), then perhaps your best bet is to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 8 model you want in the color that gets it into your hands the fastest.
