Samsung Discontinues Its Galaxy Z TriFold After Only Three Months in the US
Samsung ends its experimental triple-fold phone as remaining stock clears out in the US and South Korea.
Summary
- Samsung has discontinued the Galaxy Z TriFold after a lightning-fast three-month sprint on the market
- The $2,899 triple-folding phone has sold out in the US and won’t be restocked
- The tech giant confirmed it has no immediate plans to develop a successor device
Samsung is officially pulling the plug on the Galaxy Z TriFold, bringing an abrupt end to the hyper-premium device’s staggeringly short lifespan. First touching down in the United States in late January, the $2,899 USD triple-folding handset sold out rapidly and will no longer be restocked once remaining retail inventory is wiped clean, beginning with its home market in South Korea.
While the ambitious smartphone generated massive hype and flexed Samsung’s engineering muscle in the foldable space, it was always destined to be a limited-run collector’s piece rather than a mass-market staple. Boasting a massive 10-inch main screen and an intricate dual-hinge setup, the TriFold was positioned squarely as an ultra-premium flex for tech’s earliest adopters.
A Samsung spokesperson confirmed the discontinuation to Bloomberg, noting the brand will simply sell through its remaining stock in the US and select global markets. Furthermore, reports indicate that Samsung has no immediate plans to develop a direct successor, effectively capping off this wild hardware experiment for the foreseeable future.
