The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is now discontinued in the US as well

Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold lived a short and tumultuous life. It went on sale a few times in very limited quantities in Korea, and then it got discontinued there. It lived on in the US just a little bit longer - the last restock over there was on April 10. Obviously, that stock sold out as well. Today we bid farewell to the Galaxy Z TriFold in the US as well. Following its discontinuation in Korea, it's now been discontinued in the US too. Or rather, to quote Samsung's official page listing it, "the limited-run Galaxy Z TriFold is now completely sold out". Samsung goes on to say...

Now that the vivo X300 Ultra is out and selling, you'll also be able to buy its accompanying photography kit. Vivo has gone about things differently than some of its peers.
