# Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Flip 8, and Watch 9: Massive batch of new products passes FCC certification

Global tech giant Samsung has officially moved to the final stage of preparing for the launch of its new flagship lineup. A huge batch of gadgets has successfully passed certification by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a mandatory step before hitting the market. The appearance of technical documentation in the American regulator's database confirms that the release schedule for new products remains unchanged.

According to data published by Android Authority and reprinted by RBC-Ukraine, FCC reports have recorded the code names of key devices that will cause a buzz among brand fans. Experts have already identified the models that will form the basis of the next generation of the Samsung ecosystem.

### Foldable Flagships: Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra

Among the certified devices, smartphones with flexible screens attract special attention. The model **SM-F776U** has officially appeared in the registry, corresponding to the new generation of the compact foldable smartphone **Galaxy Z Flip 8**. This device will continue the series of popular "flip" phones from the South Korean brand.

Parallel to it, the model **SM-F976U** was registered. Analysts link this code to the premium foldable flagship **Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra**. This version will be the successor to previous Fold series models and, judging by the "Ultra" index, will offer expanded functionality and improved specifications.

### Wearable Device Lineup Update

Certification has also affected the smartwatch segment, where Samsung is preparing a major update. The regulator's documents feature codes for the new **Galaxy Watch 9** series in two form factors:

- **SM-L340 and SM-L345** — base models with a 40 mm size (Wi-Fi and LTE versions).

- **SM-L350 and SM-L355** — larger version with a 44 mm size (also available with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity).

Separately, the model **SM-L715** is highlighted, which belongs to the **Galaxy Watch Ultra 2** series. These watches are positioned as more rugged and powerful devices with cellular network support, targeted at active users and athletes.

### What is missing from the lists and when to expect the announcement

Although FCC registration cards usually contain only dry technical data about wireless modules, the fact of their publication a few weeks before the expected event is a strong indicator. Experts predict that the official announcement will take place as part of the Galaxy Unpacked event in London, scheduled for July.

However, a careful analysis of the registry has revealed certain gaps. The current lists are missing the model numbered **SM-F971U**, which was supposed to become the standard foldable smartphone **Galaxy Z Fold 8**. This raises questions: perhaps the base version will appear later, or Samsung will decide to focus on releasing only the Ultra version and the Flip 8 model as part of the first release.

Also, codes **SM-L510 and SM-L515**, assigned to the classic **Galaxy Watch 9 Classic**, have not yet been found. The absence of these documents does not mean a complete cancellation of the release, but it may indicate a postponement of their presentation or a change in market launch strategy.
