Samsung Products Pass FCC Certification, New Ultra Flagship Phone Rumored for July Launch

Samsung is gearing up for a new Galaxy Unpacked event in July, with anticipation building as several new products have received FCC certification in the United States. This milestone suggests the official launch is drawing near.

The list of certified devices, based on model numbers, includes the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the Galaxy Z Flip8 foldable phone, and the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 smartwatches. While FCC certifications typically do not reveal product names or detailed specifications, they serve as a key indicator for the market, as devices are usually submitted for review when they are close to being released.

Notably, some highly anticipated rumored products, such as Samsung's first "wide-fold" phone, have not yet appeared in the FCC database. Industry observers expect that other new devices will complete their FCC certification in the coming weeks. The "wide-fold" phone is rumored to be named the "Galaxy Z Fold8," featuring a wider aspect ratio than current Fold models, offering a more tablet-like experience when unfolded. The device previously known as the "Galaxy Z Fold8" is reportedly being rebranded as the "Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra." Samsung has not officially confirmed these details, which will be revealed at the upcoming launch event.

The July event is scheduled to take place on July 22 in London, and as the date approaches, the tech world is eagerly awaiting the official announcements.
