: Analysts say three-screen smartphone successful as a proof of concept, memory crunch potentially made it unsustainable

The Galaxy Z TriFold, Samsung’s triple-folding smartphone, is reportedly getting the axe barely three months after launch. The TriFold’s seemingly high production cost is being cited as the reason.

Samsung ends its experimental triple-fold phone as remaining stock clears out in the US and South Korea.

Samsung is set to discontinue the Galaxy Z TriFold globally after just three months on sale (via Bloomberg). The company will start by ceasing sales of the device in Korea, where it has been on sale since December. Samsung plans to discontinue the device in the United States once it clears its inventory. Samsung's website already lists the TriFold as "sold out," but customers are still able to buy the device at Samsung stores.
