Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold Sells Out in Minutes in South Korea as Foldable Competition Intensifies

The rapid sellout highlights a cautious rollout that is testing demand for new form factors.

Overview

  • Samsung released a single 16GB/512GB Galaxy Z TriFold in black at KRW 3.59 million, with units gone within minutes across about 20 Korean stores and online.
  • Samsung is collecting restock sign-ups and says more markets are planned, naming China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE and the United States, with specific dates yet to be confirmed.
  • The TriFold features a 10-inch 120Hz inner display, a 6.5-inch 120Hz cover screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 5,600mAh battery, a 200MP main camera and an IP48 rating.
  • Hands-on reports note solid build quality, smooth hinges and minimal crease, but flag limits to two use modes, smudging from the recessed cover screen and no book-style configuration.
  • Huawei’s Mate X7 launched globally in Dubai at €2,099 with a ~5,600mAh battery, IP58/IP59 protection and a 50MP camera with a variable physical aperture, drawing early praise for class-leading imaging.
