TECH NEWS – The South Korean tech giant’s double-folding device was launched on the domestic market yesterday and attracted a lot of interest.

The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold officially debuted yesterday, resulting in enormous lines, unbridled enthusiasm, and numerous heartwarming tales of brand loyalty. A 42-year-old freelancer became the world’s first owner of the TriFold after waiting in line for nearly 24 hours in freezing weather. Samsung launched its first dual-foldable smartphone in South Korea on December 12.

According to preliminary reports, the Galaxy Z TriFold sold out within minutes. Of course, limited availability played an important role in this result. According to South Korea’s Money Today, the Galaxy Z TriFold was sold only in 20 stores nationwide. Priced at 3.59 million Korean won ($2,436), the smartphone is one of Samsung’s most expensive devices.

A 42-year-old freelancer in Seoul claimed the title of the world’s first #GalaxyZTrifold owner — after spending nearly 24 hours in line in freezing weather. For some enthusiastic consumers, the chill is no match for the thrill of a new gadget.
