The company made a significant leap forward with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year, and now attention is shifting to its upcoming foldable lineup. Samsung is rumored to launch as many as four foldable phones this year, and several of them have now appeared in FCC filings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-f3378572-2746-43e5-931e-55a7a25b7a23-2\">As spotted by Android Authority, FCC listings for Samsung&#8217;s upcoming foldables and smartwatches have gone live. The publication identified multiple model numbers and linked them to the devices they&#8217;re expected to represent.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"\/>Swipe to scroll horizontally<\/p>\n<table tabindex=\"0\" class=\"table__wrapper table__wrapper--inbodyContent table__wrapper--sticky table__wrapper--divider\">\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Model Number<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Rumored Device Name<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-F776U<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Z Flip 8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-F976U<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-L340<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Watch 9 (40mm, Wi-Fi)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-L345<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Watch 9 (40mm, Cellular)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-L350<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Watch 9 (44mm, Wi-Fi)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-L355<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Watch 9 (44mm, Cellular)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"table__body__row\">\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>SM-L715<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"table_body__data\" colspan=\"1\" style=\"text-align:left\">\n<p>Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (Cellular)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p id=\"elk-959e5a84-6b30-4875-8b8b-c354f7378bd6\">The filings themselves don&#8217;t reveal much about the hardware, but they do indicate that Samsung is getting very close to launch. Devices typically appear in FCC databases only when they&#8217;re nearing commercial release, which adds further weight to reports suggesting Samsung&#8217;s next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 22.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting detail, however, is that the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide hasn&#8217;t yet appeared in FCC listings. That doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean the device won&#8217;t launch in the U.S., only that its filing may not have surfaced yet.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If Samsung is planning to release it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/samsung-galaxy\/samsungs-next-foldables-and-smartwatches-are-one-step-closer-to-launch\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung&#8217;s next foldables and smartwatches are one step closer to launch https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/samsung-galaxy\/samsungs-next-foldables-and-smartwatches-are-one-step-closer-to-launch Publish Date: 2026-06-15&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":273390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HrjiJTBsqCCTWYUXcbaxXf-2560-80.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[86],"class_list":["post-273389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273389"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273389"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273391,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273389\/revisions\/273391"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
