Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Flip 8, and Watch Series Clear US Regulatory Hurdle
Upcoming Samsung foldable smartphones and smartwatches have received clearance from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The listings cover the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, multiple variants of the Galaxy Watch 9, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. This development is seen as a significant step towards their US market launch, potentially ahead of a rumored July Galaxy Unpacked event.
Several new Samsung devices, including upcoming foldable phones and smartwatches, have cleared a key regulatory hurdle for their launch in the United States. Recent FCC listings confirm that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, various models of the Galaxy Watch 9, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have received necessary approvals.
These FCC filings are often a precursor to a device's official market release, signaling that the path for Samsung's summer hardware lineup is becoming clearer. The regulatory clearances come weeks before a rumored Galaxy Unpacked event, which is expected to take place in London in July.
Notably, listings for other rumored devices, such as a wider variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic, were not among the recent batch of FCC approvals. It remains possible that these devices could appear in future filings.
