Samsung didn't offer an explanation for its decision, but it's not exactly a surprise.

It's the only foldable that actually makes sense.

It better makes sense because it cost like 3 high end phones :)

3 times the screen 3 times the price.

How does it make sense? They call it a Tri Fold but it only folds twice, not three times.

It's a phone and a tablet in one but costs more than the two of them together, even if the tablets are an iPhone Pro and an iPad Pro.

Make it make sense.

It folds into three sections. Trifold.

Did you read the article?

"Samsung didn’t offer a rationale for this decision, but poor sales probably isn’t it. While the phone retailed for a whopping $2,899, Samsung was selling every unit it could produce. The company’s website actually teased restocks until recently, and desperate buyers were paying above MSRP on the second-hand market."

Of course I didn't! who do you think I am hehehe.

Having said that, this makes little sense.. was Samsung producing 100 a week?
