Overview
- The Bell, as cited by Android Headlines and 9to5Google, reports the Galaxy Z TriFold’s production cost exceeds its 3,594,000 won (about $2,500) Korean price.
- Samsung has not confirmed a per-unit loss, but launch executive Lim Sung-taek said the company made a "grand decision" to reduce the price for this special-edition run.
- The phone is priced around $2,440–$2,500 in Korea and about $3,260 in the UAE, a spread that suggests heavier subsidization in Samsung’s home market.
- The TriFold is Samsung’s priciest foldable to date, and the company cites high memory costs as a factor tightening pricing decisions.
- A broader rollout is planned, with North American availability expected in early 2026, and more details could surface at Samsung’s January 4 First Look event.
