Samsung’s TriFold Phone Might Not Be Dead After All
Samsung’s first and only $3,000 dual-folding Galaxy Z TriFold launched and was discontinued faster before anyone could even sell their kidney to scrounge up the funds. The report says that this is part of a “4+4” strategy, where four bar-style phones are released in the first half of 2027 and then four foldables in the second half. Samsung could use its two annual Galaxy Unpacked events to launch the devices.
