Samsung’s $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold Sells Out Minutes After U.S. Launch

Sales were confined to Samsung.com plus select Experience Stores, signaling a halo-style rollout with no stated restock date.

Overview

  • Samsung’s product page lists the device as sold out with a promise of “restocking soon,” but offers no timeline.
  • U.S. availability was limited to Samsung.com and a handful of Samsung Experience Stores, with no carrier or third‑party retailer options at launch.
  • Online inventory disappeared within minutes on Jan. 30, with CNET, as cited by Mashable, reporting many tried to buy and only one order was completed.
  • SamMobile reports similarly rapid sell‑outs and brief restocks in earlier markets like South Korea, pointing to very tight supply.
  • The tri‑fold phone drew strong early hands‑on marks, with CNET Group naming it Best of CES.
