Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 Surface on IMEI Database Ahead of Launch

Samsung is once again gearing up for the next generation of its foldable smartphones, and early signs suggest the company is sticking to its established release timeline. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 are expected to arrive in the second half of the year, continuing Samsung’s annual update cycle for its premium foldables.

Adding weight to these expectations, both devices have reportedly surfaced in the GSMA IMEI database, a common early indicator that development and testing are already underway. Such listings typically appear months before an official launch, pointing to Samsung’s confidence in its roadmap for the upcoming Galaxy Z lineup.

According to a report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 carry the model numbers SM-F976U and SM-F776U in the database. The “U” suffix suggests these variants are meant for the US market, while global versions are expected to feature Samsung’s usual “B” designation. The listings also reference internal codenames “Q8” and “B8,” aligning with the brand’s established naming patterns for foldable devices.

In addition to the two familiar models, Samsung is rumoured to be working on a third, yet-to-be-revealed foldable smartphone that could debut alongside the Fold 8 and Flip 8. If true, this would mark a notable expansion of Samsung’s foldable portfolio, following last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 launch in July, both powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset.

Samsung Galaxy S26+ Spotted on BIS, Hinting at India Launch Soon

Samsung has yet to officially announce its next-generation flagship lineup, but expectations are building around the arrival of the Galaxy S26 series in global markets. Recent developments suggest that the launch timeline may be approaching, especially for India, where a new Galaxy S series device has surfaced in regulatory listings.

A smartphone believed to be the Samsung Galaxy S26+ has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, signaling that an India launch could be imminent. The listing adds weight to reports that Samsung is preparing to introduce its next flagship range in the country in the coming months.

Earlier speculation hinted that Samsung might drop the Plus model in favor of a new Galaxy S26 Edge variant. However, those plans are now believed to have been abandoned following weak sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge. As a result, Samsung is expected to continue with its traditional three-model lineup consisting of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The BIS database lists a device with the model number SM-S947B/DS, which is widely believed to correspond to the Galaxy S26+. The “B” designation points to an international variant, while “DS” indicates dual-SIM support. Although the SM-S947 model number was previously associated with rumors surrounding the Galaxy S26 Edge, tipster Erencan Yilmaz has clarified that this identifier is in fact linked to the Galaxy S26+, reinforcing expectations that Samsung will retain the Plus variant in its upcoming flagship series.
