In any event, the folding screen’s minimum repair cost is on par with the Galaxy S25 Ultra‘s launch price in Korea. Samsung’s Ultra phone launched at a recommended price of 1.698 million won (~$1,150). So you could choose to repair the TriFold or buy a brand-new S25 Ultra instead.
It’s worth noting that Samsung does offer a one-time 50% discount on display repair costs. However, that still means you’re paying at least ~$550 to fix your broken Galaxy Z TriFold. So you’d better get a durable case or skip the device if you’ve got butter fingers.
