Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Phone quickly sells out online despite near $3,000 pricetag

Samsung Galaxy fans did not let the hefty near-$3,000 price tag deter them from snapping up the TriFold phone on Saturday, when it went on sale.

On the morning of Jan. 30, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold officially launched in the U.S., and buyers were quick to order the new Samsung smartphone. 

According to our friends at CNET, the $2,9000 TriFold sold out within minutes of going on sale. CNET says multiple people logged in to Samsung's website to make their purchases at the moment the device went on sale. Only one person was able to order the TriFold.

If you were planning on buying the TriFold today, you're out of luck. The website currently lists the TriFold as out of stock. While the site also indicates it will be restocked soon, no timeframe is listed for when consumers will be able to order the device again.

There was some question about whether consumers would spend nearly $3,000 on a smartphone, given that it has a foldable screen so big it folds twice. It turns out that people are willing to spend that much money on the TriFold – or at least the early adopters are. 

Pricing aside, the TriFold has been receiving rave reviews from those that tried it out. Mashable enjoyed our hands-on time with the device. Mashable's own Timothy Beck Werth liked the TriFold so much that he walked out of CES 2026 deciding it was among the best tech he saw. In fact, CNET Group, which includes CNET and Mashable, decided as a whole that the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold was the Best of CES.

Mashable will keep readers updated when Samsung restocks the TriFold.
