Samsung is bringing back its $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold foldable phone for sale in the US on Friday, April 10, after pausing sales in March. The company has added a countdown timer to the phone's online store page and notified customers via email. The restock follows quick sellouts of previous limited batches.
Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold, a super-premium foldable with a 10-inch display when unfolded, first launched in South Korea on December 12 and reached the US store on January 30. It sold out within minutes in the US, leading to a sales pause in March after just three months, as the device was available only in limited quantities, Samsung said at the time. Reports indicate batches sold out but offered little profit, according to South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo, as first reported by Android Police on April 8. CNET confirmed the return on April 8, noting the announcement via a newsletter and the store countdown. It remains unclear if this is a final shipment to clear inventory or a more permanent return, with Samsung positioning it as a high-end device not intended for wide availability. The restock arrives ahead of expected summer launches from Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold and Flip lines, Motorola's Razr Fold, and potential Apple foldables.
