where do you see that you can buy it? Still shows like 23 hours and change when I go to the website.
I just got a notification on my Samsung shop app and I can literally go through the checkout
Order placed with delivery slated for Feb 3rd! Chose the 24-month 0% financing option since I added Samsung VIP with Care+.
Yeah, just went through the steps... it's already sold out. I think Samsung jumped the gun lol
Edit. was doing out of curiosity... wasn't actually looking to purchase.
Ha I was actually going to purchase and it showed out of stock once I tried to complete the transaction. Maybe a good thing its out of stock. Gives me a little more time to finish Flossy's review.
Oh dang, sold out already?!?!
I saw the notification offer to buy this morning but as I was checking out the Samsung app crashed and I lost the cart. I have notification history enabled but it wouldn't bring me back to the page to order. I was pretty bummed but then a moment later I received a new notification to buy and was finally able to complete the process. Apparently this happened to others too this morning. Wow, I am shocked it sold out so fast.

Same haha. I'm not actually going to buy it but just the fun of going through checkout.
Yeah, haven't finished the Flossy's review. But he started out saying... it's the best phone out there, so it's most likely going to be more positive than negatives out of it.
The TriFold is an awesome device, but given I have an iPad... it's redundant for me. I'm excited for the upcoming Fold 8 Wide... a day one purchase for sure.
Yeah, I'm curious if they are going to have another wave of orders come tomorrow... since this was catered toward Samsung users and given early access.
That's most likely the case. Also from everything I hear there will be some available in Samsung stores. I might head over to Stonebriar tomorrow and see. Doubtful there would be a rush for this and people waiting in lines like there are for iPhones.
Obviously, there won't be any lines... I think those days are gone (Apple doesn't want their users to that anymore thanks to Angela Ahrengts). But I've seen on Reddit that folks were able to reserve it in stores... so not sure what to expect as far as stock.
Just received shipping notice saying TriFold should arrive tomorrow (1/30)! Original delivery estimate was February 3rd.
Hi. Do you have some kind of Samsung membership or anything? Curious how you were able to do this lol.
I am nothing special and don't believe I did anything out of the ordinary. When the Samsung website went live with the TriFold announcement I simply "signed up" my email for updates.
I was very surprised to get the Samsung Shop notification this morning with the offer to buy ahead of the official launch tomorrow. Based on Reddit, I clearly wasn't the only person that got the early invites. I guess having the Samsung Shop app and a Samsung account is the differentiator? Shrug. Samsung clearly knows about my past Fold 4, Fold 5, and Fold 6 purchases. They know I like the Z Fold series, lol, so maybe that played a small part...or maybe not.
There was only one price and it was for 512GB. Maybe Samsung will release a 1TB later for US market, but it wasn't available today.
Back in stock. Just ordered. Might have to sell off a few devices if I end up keeping this one.
What devices do you have in mind that you would remove to replace it with the TriFold?
ZF7
S25U
Pixel 9PF
Pixel 9 Pro XL
OnePlus 13
Figure I can sell a combination of those to cover a good chunk of the cost. If I love the Trifold I’d likely want to replace the two foldables I have. Hate to part with the s25U but need room in the stable for the foldable iPhone in Sept/Oct.
Yep that's kinda how I'm leaning.
Always have a soft spot in my heart for the Pixel and I actually prefer the XL to the 9PF, probably because I prefer the Samsung foldables mostly due to software. This is the first year I did not get a Pixel device, I just didn't see that much of a difference between the 9 and 10 series.
The romoured redesigned Macbook pro with touchscreen and cellular with no notch might end up also being so compelling like the potential the iPhone Fold will have and end up being the ultimate killer of many devices including iPads
