Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide Surfaces on IMDA Database
According to a report by SammyGuru, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide has received certification from Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). The publication spotted the device carrying the model number SM-F971B in the database. The certification listing confirms support for 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ultra-Wideband connectivity. No additional specifications were disclosed through the regulatory filing.
The appearance follows earlier sightings of Samsung foldable devices on the Bureau of Indian Standards database. While SM-A857B and SM-F776B are thought to be related to the Galaxy Z Flip 8, SM-D642B and SM-F971B have been linked to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.
Based on previous leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could feature a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch cover screen. Both panels are expected to use LTPO OLED technology. The handset is also tipped to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
For photography, Samsung may equip the foldable with a 50-megapixel primary rear camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Leaked renders suggest the LED flash could be positioned below the camera modules. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is expected to pack a 4,800mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging.
On the software front, Samsung’s upcoming foldable range is expected to ship with Android 17-based One UI 9 out of the box. The update is also tipped to debut first on the company’s next-generation foldable devices before expanding to older Galaxy models.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide alongside other foldable devices at a Galaxy Unpacked event that is reportedly scheduled for July 22 in London.
