Ahead of next month’s launch event, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Watch 9, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have all been certified by different regulatory agencies. The FCC in the US has certified the Galaxy Z Flip 8, which means the other devices should follow very soon. While China has certified the watches.
Typically, certification like this is a giant nothing-burger, but this does mean that we are getting closer and closer to these devices launching. Rumors are pointing towards Samsung holding Unpacked around mid-July, which is about a month away now. And typically, these devices do go on sale pretty quickly after.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is going to use the model number SM-F776U here in the US. Which is slightly different from the SM-F7760 we saw in China. As usual, the FCC certification doesn’t give us a lot of juicy details, but we do know that it will use several cellular network capabilities, including GSM, WCDMA, LTE, 5G, and NB-NT N B255. Nothing that is that surprising.
And the same goes for the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 in China. They’ve been certified by China’s 3C, and do show that both watches will use 10W wired charging, the same charging speed as their predecessors.
Unpacked kicks off next month in London
According to the latest leaks about Samsung’s Summer Unpacked event, it’s set to take place in London next month. This is where we will see a boatload of new devices launched by Samsung. Including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and possibly the new smart glasses that were teased at Google I/O.
It’s going to be a pretty busy Summer for Samsung this year. As there are going to be even more releases around September and IFA.
