Samsung Electronics Ends Sales of Galaxy Z TriFold Despite Strong Popularity

Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold was unprofitable due to high production and rising component costs despite strong initial demand and positive reviews, industry sources said.

  • On Tuesday, Samsung will reportedly discontinue sales of the Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea on March 17, ending the device's three-month availability window, according to the South Korean outlet Dong-A Ilbo.

  • According to the Korean outlet FNNews, Samsung declared an "emergency management regime" for its mobile phone division, having moved only roughly 3,000 units across the first two allotments.
  • In the U.S., Samsung will continue selling the TriFold at $2,899 until current inventory is exhausted, though the company has not officially confirmed the discontinuation reports.
  • Samsung is expected to launch its next generation of foldables in a few months, including the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold lineups, as well as a wider foldable model.
