Overview
- Korean outlet The Bell reports the Galaxy Z TriFold’s production cost exceeds its 3,594,000 won (about $2,500) Korea price, indicating per‑unit losses that Samsung has not confirmed.
- At launch, Samsung executive Lim Sung-taek described the phone as a limited 'special edition' and said the company cut the price despite elevated memory costs.
- Supply remains constrained with small drops and quick sell-outs in Korea, a U.S. release is planned for early 2026, and Europe is excluded from the initial rollout.
- Pricing differs by market, with the UAE listed at roughly $3,260 versus Korea’s lower price, underscoring substantial regional variance.
- Rising RAM prices are also complicating Galaxy S26 pricing decisions, while Samsung pushes holiday deals on existing foldables such as targeted $720 discounts and a $1,599.99 Amazon offer for a 512GB Galaxy Z Fold 7.
