The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, which launched last week, sold out within minutes in its home market of South Korea. According to insiders cited by The Chosun, Samsung will restock the device later this week, offering another chance for eager buyers.
The new supply is expected to be available on Samsung's online store at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Given the rapid sellout of the initial batch, prospective customers should act quickly. It is estimated that only 3,000 units will be allocated for the domestic market.
Additionally, select offline stores will receive limited stock, likely coinciding with the online restock. However, Samsung has not disclosed which physical locations will be receiving these additional units. At launch on the 12th, the Galaxy Z TriFold was available at 20 stores across South Korea.

The upcoming official restock will be sold at the original KRW 3,594,000 price point, which is expected to help stabilize the inflated secondhand market prices. However, due to limited quantity, the device is likely to sell out quickly again.
