According to Bloomberg news agency, the company has decided to stop its sales in the US after just under two months.
A company spokesperson said Samsung will gradually phase out the phone, first in its home market of South Korea, and then in the US once all stocks are gone.
In the US, the phone was only available on Samsung's website or in some of its experience stores.
Samsung did not immediately make an official statement, and the phone is not listed on the website.
However, according to some users, this phone has been purchased at various stores in the United States in the past few days.
It should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold was launched on December 1, 2025, launched in South Korea on December 12, and went on sale in the United States on January 30. Its price was around $2,899.
This phone has a 6.5-inch folding screen and two hinges, with which it opens to become a large 10-inch screen.

ccording to reports, the phone was actually not manufactured as a regular product, but as a 'tech showcase' so that Samsung could show off its advanced capabilities. That's why it was sold in limited numbers.
In addition, the rising prices of components such as DRAM, NAND flash, and application processors have also reduced the profitability of this phone.
These components are essential for the performance and data storage of a smartphone.
Although the phone was quite popular at the time of its launch and sold out within minutes on the first day in the US, experts say it was a niche device that wasn't for everyone.
It's currently unclear whether Samsung will launch a new version in the future.
owever, other three-part phones include the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate and the Tecno Phantom Ultimate G, which could be considered as alternatives.
