While the iPhone Fold is anticipated to be expensive, possibly reaching $2,500, it won't be the priciest smartphone. Samsung is poised to launch its new Galaxy Z TriFold, featuring two folds, with a price tag approaching $3,000. This marks Samsung's attempt to lead the market with cutting-edge technology, following their initial folding phone release.

Samsung's strategy to introduce new technologies first is evident in the TriFold's design, which builds upon the Galaxy Fold series with an extra screen section. The device boasts a 10-inch display when fully unfolded. The US release date is set for January 30th, available through Samsung's website and retail stores.

The Galaxy Z TriFold will sell for $2,899 in the US. This price point is comparable to the Apple Vision Pro. Concerns linger, however, as Samsung may not offer insurance coverage for the device through its Care+ program, and trade-ins might not be accepted. This suggests a cautious approach to the product's durability.
