Galaxy Z TriFold was sold out in minutes!

Samsung announced the launch of the Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea a few days ago. The company's tri-folding phone became available for purchase in the country today and was sold out in minutes. This is surprising, as the phone is extremely costly and is a first-generation product in its category.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is priced at KRW 3.59 million (around $2,436) in South Korea for the 512GB version. Earlier today, it went on sale in the country through 20 of Samsung's major retail stores. This drew long queues of dozens of people outside each store, and the phone sold out within minutes at all the available locations.

The company hasn't revealed when the device will be back in stock, but it thanked buyers for their support on its website and is now taking sign-ups for restock notifications. It will go on sale in some more countries, including the USA, in the coming weeks.

While there is no Samsung Care+ plan available for the Galaxy Z TriFold as of now, Samsung is offering a 50% discount on its screen replacement.

The Galaxy Z TriFold features a 6.5-inch 120Hz OLED cover display, a 10-inch 120Hz OLED foldable display, two 10MP selfie cameras (cover screen and foldable screen), a 200MP primary camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS.

The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB/1TB storage. It runs Android 16-based One UI 8.0 software and has several Galaxy AI features. Samsung will offer seven major Android OS updates to the device. It has 5G, a nano SIM card slot, eSIM, GPS, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, UWB, NFC, and a USB 3.2 Type-C port.

It is powered by a 5,600mAh battery and supports 45W fast charging. It has stereo speakers, an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance, and a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint reader.
