One of Samsung's most expensive smartphones, the Galaxy Z TriFold, has finally landed in the US, and it can be all yours for a paltry ~$2,900.
Samsung has priced its Galaxy Z TriFold at $2,899 in the US
Beginning this Friday, January 30, Galaxy Z TriFold fans in the US will be able to buy the triple-folding smartphone from Samsung's retail and online stores.
Samsung has priced the 512GB variant at $2,899 in the US, but has chosen to withhold pricing details for the 1TB variant of the Galaxy Z TriFold for now.
OMG_electronics recently showed that the Galaxy Z TriFold's hinge starts creaking at around the 61,000-fold mark, while the hinge gives way at around the 144,000-fold mark. Even so, 61,000 folds constitute a huge threshold when it comes to everyday use.
Do note that Samsung claims that the smartphone can endure 200,000 folding cycles, which is less than the Galaxy Z Fold 7's 500,000 cycles.
We reported recently that, as of the tail end of December 2025, Samsung had only sold between 3,000 and 4,000 units of the Galaxy Z TriFold. What's more, the South Korean tech behemoth does not expect total sales of its triple-folding smartphone to go past the 30,000 - 40,000-unit mark globally.
For the uninitiated, here are the key specs of the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold:
- Dimensions of 159.2mm x 214.1mm x 3.9-4.2 mm when unfolded, with the device's thickness increasing to 12.9mm when folded.
