Samsung's first Galaxy Z TriFold folding phone sold out within minutes of going on sale last Friday. The device features a screen that expands to 10 inches, transforming it into a tablet-like form. Priced at $2,899, it marks the debut of such a trifold phone in Western markets.
Samsung launched its inaugural Galaxy Z TriFold on Friday, a folding smartphone that distinguishes itself from the seventh-generation Galaxy Z Fold7 by unfolding into a 10-inch display, effectively functioning as a compact tablet. The high demand was evident as the device sold out almost immediately upon release, highlighting strong consumer interest in this innovative form factor. At $2,899, the TriFold carries a premium price tag, reflecting its advanced capabilities and positioning as a luxury gadget. While this represents Samsung's first trifold phone available in the West, Huawei has already offered a similar model in China, indicating that the technology has been in use elsewhere prior to this Western debut. The rapid sell-out underscores the appeal of larger folding screens in the smartphone market, where users seek versatile devices that bridge phones and tablets.
