Samsung didn’t offer an explanation for its decision, but it’s not exactly a surprise.
Samsung has been selling foldable phones for years, but they all fold in half. Recently, the company released the Galaxy Z TriFold, which has two hinges that allow it to expand from something approaching phone-sized to a 10-inch tablet. It’s a neat engineering demo, and that’s how it’s going to stay—Samsung has confirmed it’s ending sales of the Galaxy Z TriFold just three months after it launched.
According to Bloomberg, Samsung will begin winding down sales of the massive foldable in its home market of South Korea, where the TriFold debuted in December 2025. The device will disappear from other markets like the US as inventory is sold. Samsung released the Galaxy Z TriFold for the US in January, making its run even shorter stateside.
Samsung didn’t offer a rationale for this decision, but poor sales probably isn’t it. While the phone retailed for a whopping $2,899, Samsung was selling every unit it could produce. The company’s website actually teased restocks until recently, and desperate buyers were paying above MSRP on the second-hand market.
