Samsung turns off the light. You won’t buy this flagship anymore, there may be no successor

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, a foldable smartphone that opens to the size of a 10-inch tabletdebuted at the beginning of December and although it was discouraging with high prices, it turned out to be a success a great success. In South Korea, it sold out just a few minutes after sales started, and in several other markets, such as the United States and the UAE, it also attracted the attention of fans of new technologies, and equipment quickly became scarce. Subsequent batches were rare and sold out within minutes. Galaxy Z TriFold was an experiment, but the great interest in the market meant that the manufacturer could make further plans for the future. But nothing happened.

A spokesman for the Korean manufacturer has just announced in an interview with Bloomberg that the company ends sales of the model in South Korea. This process will also cover the United States and other markets, as soon as the current, very modest stocks are exhausted.

This decision isn’t really a big surprise because the Galaxy Z TriFold was available in limited numbers from the very beginning. Nevertheless, the great interest could have changed Samsung’s plans.

The end of production of the Galaxy Z TriFold is due to its experimental nature. Samsung treated this model as a demonstration of technological possibilities, proving to the market that it can create such complex equipment. And he actually succeeded.

The manufacturer also confirmed that in the near future ndoes not plan to release a direct successorand maintaining a niche and probably unprofitable model on the market was pointless.

Unlike the competitive Huawei Mate protected the main matrix against damage during everyday use. Users have a 6.5-inch external display for standard operation and a huge panel internal with a diagonal of 10 incheswhich turned the smartphone into a full-fledged tablet.

The whole thing is very flat and durable. The phone drives the system Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxyhas a 200 Mpix main camera and a 5600 mAh battery with 45 W wired charging.

According to user reports, despite such an advanced design, everyday use scenarios for Galaxy Z TriFold turned out to be quite narrow. The device worked great as a large screen when fully unfolded or a standard telephone when folded, but lacked functional intermediate states.
