After three months, Samsung is ending sales of the $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold

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.

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.

Blame for the discontinuation may rest with the rapidly increasing cost of components.

Both storage and memory are getting much more expensive, and the Galaxy Z Trifold has a generous allotment of both: 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in the base model.

Samsung probably wasn’t making much money on the TriFold even with the sky-high price, and raising it even more would have been a bad look.
