After Apple released its first folding screen phone, the iPhone Duo, competitor Samsung's new folding screen Galaxy Z Fold 8 ushered in a huge increase in sales. According to the data, the sales volume of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in South Korea increased by about 10% compared to the previous week. Analysts believe that some consumers who were previously waiting for new Apple products may finally decide to buy Samsung phones, thus boosting demand for Samsung folding screens. Local analysts in South Korea attributed the main reason for the shift to the price of Apple's folding screen phones and the wait time of more than a month. The iPhone Duo is currently not officially available and will not be shipped until late October. In terms of price, the starting price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 in the US market is 1,899 US dollars, while the starting price of the iPhone Duo is 1999 dollars. In the Korean market, the price difference between the two folding screen phones with the same capacity was more than 1 million won, which is equivalent to 723 US dollars. However, Samsung's pricing in the European market is also much cheaper than Apple's after conversion.
