Samsung’s US product page now says the limited-run Galaxy Z TriFold is completely sold out. In a July 2026 guide to its foldables, Samsung said it’s committed to evolving its foldable lineup, from the TriFold to the latest Galaxy Z series, but it didn’t mention a successor.

Galaxy Z TriFold specs

The TriFold folds inward twice to protect the main screen, using two differently sized hinges. Unfolded, it shows a 10-inch screen that Samsung says works like three 6.5-inch phones side by side, and it was the first phone with standalone Samsung DeX, with up to four workspaces of five apps each.

Samsung says the 5,600 mAh battery is the biggest it has put in a foldable phone, with a cell in each of the three panels, and that the main display passed a 200,000-cycle folding test, about 100 folds a day for five years.

Price: $2,899 for the first one

Samsung hasn’t announced a price for a second TriFold. The first one cost $2,899 in the US, which is about $800 more than the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and $900 more than Apple’s folding iPhone Duo, which starts at $1,999 and goes on sale on Oct. 23.
