Did you miss your chance to get a Galaxy Z TriFold? A successor could be in the works with a new hinge

The Galaxy Z TriFold is an attractive and expensive foldable that It quickly became a limited-run product. for Samsung. The company held a last-call sale for the Galaxy Z TriFold earlier this month, and as of today, April 17, the foldable model is officially sold out. Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold official homepage confirms that “the limited edition Galaxy Z TriFold is now completely sold out,” directing buyers to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Galaxy S26 Ultra. Although the short-lived foldable with a 10-inch interior screen is no longer available, there are already rumors about a successor.

The first signs pointed to the Galaxy Z triple being a one-off product for Samsung, but now, rumors hint that a Galaxy Z TriFold 2 is in the works. Specifically, Lanzuk filter (yeux1122) claims that a second-generation Galaxy Z TriFold model with a redesigned hinge is in development. While we don’t know exactly what Samsung might be working on for the new Galaxy Z TriFold hinge, we do know that the goal is to make the next model thinner and lighter.

Samsung broke major thickness and weight barriers with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which measured 8.9mm thick when folded and weighed just 215 grams. By comparison, the Galaxy Z TriFold was gigantic, measuring 12.9mm thick and weighing 309 grams. Of course, this is easily explained by the Galaxy Z TriFold’s dual-hinge design and larger 10-inch main display. However, it’s clear that if “TriFold” phones ever become popular, they will have to become thinner and lighter, and that starts with the hinge design.

The rumor claims that Samsung intends to ship this updated hinge design on the Galaxy Z TriFold 2, which is not confirmed yet. He also predicts that Samsung will apply a slightly improved hinge with “some technical tweaks” to the regular Galaxy Z Fold models. This could make the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold or Galaxy Z Flip models thinner than their predecessors, even without the completely revised Galaxy Z TriFold 2 hinge.

Since the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 is still firmly in the rumor phase, it’s unclear if it will ever launch. Or whether it will sport the “all-new hinge solution” supposedly in development. There were rumors around the Galaxy Z TriFold despite its high price, great construction and limited productionso it would be nice to see Samsung address those aspects of a possible successor.
