TL;DR
Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold is apparently being sold at a loss, despite its ~$2,440 price tag in Korea.
For what it’s worth, the TriFold is only being produced in small numbers and is only sold in a few markets.
Samsung is reportedly struggling with Galaxy S26 series pricing as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold (https://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-z-trifold-launch-3621111/) is perhaps the most interesting Galaxy phone of the last few years, featuring a dual-folding design that differs from the trailblazing HUAWEI Mate XT (https://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-hands-on-review-3538563/). Samsung’s device isn’t cheap at ~$2,440 in Korea, but it sounds like the company might not be making a profit.
Korean news outlet The Bell (https://www.thebell.co.kr/free/content/ArticleView.asp?key=202512231531467760101250) reports that the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold reportedly has a higher production cost than its selling price. In other words, Samsung’s newfangled device is apparently being sold at a loss.
