Overview
- Sales have stopped in South Korea and will cease in the United States once remaining stock is sold, with Samsung’s site listing the phone as sold out and no restocks planned.
- Production was intentionally small—industry reports estimate roughly 20,000–30,000 units—and limited batches often sold out quickly through Samsung retail channels.
- Reporting attributes the withdrawal to high build complexity and surging memory/component prices that squeezed margins, with The Register also noting the lack of carrier subsidies kept the device niche.
- Samsung’s mobile chief said no successor is decided, yet leaks point to a thinner, lighter TriFold with a refined hinge targeting roughly mid‑2027 and a separate manual‑slide OLED phone that could arrive in late 2027 or early 2028.
- Some buyers reported display failures, analysts characterized the model as a halo proof‑of‑concept rather than a mass product, and at least one outlet noted the device recently received a software update.
