Samsung Reportedly Halts Sales of Triple-Folding Galaxy Z TriFold Phone

Samsung is reportedly set to discontinue sales of its first triple-folding (trifold) phone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, merely months after it was officially launched.

This information was conveyed by a Samsung spokesperson to Bloomberg. In the report, Samsung confirmed that sales of the Galaxy Z TriFold will be halted gradually.

Sales will first be stopped in South Korea, before finally being discontinued in the United States (US) after all remaining stock has been sold.

The Galaxy Z TriFold itself only began selling in the US at the end of January 2026, or about three months after its initial debut.

Signals of the sales halt were actually visible as early as the beginning of March.

On Samsung’s official US website, the company no longer displays information on new restock schedules for the device, even though it had previously been promised.

Now, Samsung is instead directing consumers to purchase remaining units through physical stores (Samsung Experience Store), without additional online purchase options.

Samsung has not detailed the official reasons behind the halt in sales of the Galaxy Z TriFold. However, several reports suggest that this was triggered by the device’s production costs, which are considered very high.

In addition, issues of rising component prices and global RAM shortages are also suspected to have influenced production costs.

This situation is said to have sufficiently pressured Samsung’s profit margins, reportedly becoming a factor driving the discontinuation of sales for this device.

A previous report by South Korean media Dong-A Ilbo stated that the Galaxy Z TriFold was only available in around 6,000 units in the domestic market since its release on 12 December 2025.

The exact number of Galaxy Z TriFold stocks in other countries, including China, Taiwan, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and the US, is not yet known.
