Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has reportedly surfaced in certification records, offering an early indication of the company’s plans for the next generation of foldable smartphones. The listing appears to confirm the device’s existence and suggests that Samsung could be preparing a broader launch strategy for the Japanese market.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Bluetooth SIG certified
According to a report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has been spotted in the Bluetooth SIG database. The publication claims that multiple model numbers linked to the device have appeared in certification records, pointing to availability through several major Japanese mobile operators as well as an unlocked version.
As can be seen in the image above, the reported model numbers include:
- SC-56G for NTT Docomo
- SCG39 for Au
- SM-F976C for Rakuten Mobile
- SM-F976Q for the SIM-free variant
- SM-F976Z for SoftBank
If accurate, this would mean Samsung plans to make the device available through all major carrier channels in Japan. However, we were unable to locate the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra listing on the Bluetooth SIG database independently, so this report should be taken with a pinch of salt until further confirmation emerges.
One of the most notable aspects of the leak is the use of the “Ultra” branding. Samsung’s Fold series has traditionally followed a simpler naming strategy, making this the first time an Ultra-branded Fold model has been linked to the lineup.
Previous rumors have suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra could retain a design philosophy similar to earlier Fold models, while a separate Galaxy Z Fold 8 variant may adopt a wider display format. This has led to speculation that Samsung could be reorganizing its foldable portfolio based on form factor and screen proportions rather than following a straightforward premium-versus-standard approach.
The wider Fold 8 model remains surrounded by uncertainty, particularly regarding its availability outside select markets. For now, the certification record appears to focus only on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. With Samsung expected to unveil its next foldables in the coming months, more details about specifications, pricing and the differences between the two models could surface soon.
