From CNET: If you haven't yet shelled out nearly $3,000 for a Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, you might have missed your chance. The company is winding down sales of the phone after it's been on the market in the US for less than two months, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
But it wasn't for lack of interest -- the device has been a hot seller in the US and South Korea since it first went on sale in December. According to multiple reports, Samsung wanted to sell a small number to showcase its design expertise and gauge customer interest.
Samsung will begin the phase-out by ending sales in its home market, South Korea, and will then stop selling the phone in the US after all inventory has been depleted, Bloomberg said, citing a company spokesperson. In the US, the only way to buy a TriFold is on the Samsung website or at one of its seven Experience Stores across the country.
Samsung didn't respond to a request for comment.
