Samsung trims pre-order freebies for Fold8 lineup amid memory-price squeeze
A Korea report claims Samsung will drop the long-running 'free storage upgrade' for pre-orders of the Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra, and Flip8, replacing it with a 50% subsidy on the price difference between 256GB and 512GB storage. The change is tied to a memory-price crisis as Samsung's mobile division is estimated to have incurred a KRW 1.5 trillion ($1B) Q2 loss, though officials have not confirmed the change.
