Curious if you guys think the Ultra model will remain in the lineup for years to come? The Fold 8 appears to be dominating pre-order sales. Perhaps because it's a new form factor, but I do think most consumers will opt for the short and wide foldable shape moving forward.

I think the Ultra model will remain… because it gives Samsung a way to add premium features to the foldable line while charging more for it which results in higher profit margins.

Well, it’s the first year… so, that plays a part of the success. But once Samsung decides to stop messing around with the Ultra branding and give it top tier features like S-Pen support, privacy display on the outer screen and a better zoom lens then more consumers will go for it (I sure will).

I agree if you looks at habits, less people are calling and more people messaging and using their phones for content. It makes total sense.

Ordered from Samsung direct on 7/22 and still on "preparing to ship." Looks like I'll be getting mine on release day. Happy for those who have received their devices already! 👊 .
