You can finally buy Samsung's $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold in the US. Will you?

Samsung’s ultra-premium Galaxy Z TriFold is finally going on sale in the US. Earlier this week, Samsung announced the TriFold would cost $2,899, and most people would consider spending that amount on a phone to be ludicrous. But if you’re not most people, you can buy the Galaxy Z TriFold starting today, January 30, at 10 AM Eastern Time.

The Galaxy Z TriFold won’t be sold by any third-party sellers, such as Amazon or Walmart, or through carriers for now. It is available exclusively via Samsung’s own channels, and you can buy it on its online store. If you want to try the TriFold before buying it, you can do that through one of the company’s various Experience Stores in California, Texas, New York, and Minnesota. You can find details about those here.

Unlike other Samsung flagship launches, we’re not seeing any early bird offers. That, to me, is a good call, because lowering the price could dilute the TriFold’s perception as a luxury product.

According to recent industry estimates, Samsung plans to produce only 30,000 units of the TriFold, a minuscule volume compared with other Samsung flagships, which are produced in much higher volumes.

Most of us would advise against buying a phone that expensive. But you shouldn’t listen to us, especially if the $3,000 expense wouldn’t feel like a pinch.
