Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold went on sale in the US in late January, but a new report suggests it may have already been discontinued. Despite such a short availability window, this doesn’t mean Samsung considers the phone a failure.

According to a report by the Korean outlet Donga, citing industry sources and insiders, Samsung may have recently finished Galaxy Z TriFold production and is now selling through its current stock. Samsung has yet to confirm or deny the report.

You can continue to buy the Galaxy Z TriFold in the US, despite the phone first selling out at launch on Jan. 30. It returned in stock a couple of weeks later, remaining available for anyone willing to spend $2,899.

Donga’s sources say the brand had a successful experience with the TriFold but intended only to showcase the triple-foldable tech in a consumer product rather than generate particularly strong sales revenue.

The same sources also say the brand hasn’t made significant profit from the phone, as costs remained high and kept rising amid the global memory shortage.

If this report is to be believed, Samsung appears to have been using the Galaxy Z TriFold to cement its status as a go-to brand for innovative foldable tech. Samsung was the first major Android maker to sell a first-gen foldable phone, but other brands have quickly caught up with powerful devices.

We may see a second-gen TriFold device from Samsung, or it may apply this tech to a different form factor at a later date. A Samsung executive said in late February that the brand had yet to decide on plans for a second-gen TriFold.

The brand’s next foldable phones are expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8, which are likely to launch from July onward, based on past launches. Other rumors suggest there may be an additional foldable line with a book-like, wide-folding Galaxy Z Fold handset.

Elsewhere in Samsung’s phone business, the Galaxy S26 series has reportedly proven a success, but soaring industry-wide costs are putting pressure on the business.

According to Korean outlet FNNews, sources say the brand has “declared an emergency management regime for its mobile phone division” amid rising component costs and concerns about their impact on profitability.
