Galaxy Z Fold 5, Flip 5 & Tab S9 pick up more regulatory approvals
Samsung has a major hardware launch event scheduled at the end of July. It will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldables, Galaxy Tab S9 series flagship tablets, and the Galaxy Watch 6 series during this event. Ahead of that, the company has been busy obtaining regulatory approvals for the new products. A few of those have just picked up necessary certifications from India’s BIS and the UAE’s TDRA.
The BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) has certified the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 for launch in the country. The devices appeared with model numbers SM-F946B/DS and SM-F731B, respectively.
We have long known these model numbers for the upcoming Samsung foldables. However, the BIS certification confirms one important detail. The “DS” at the end of Fold 5’s model number tells us that it will offer full-fledged dual-SIM support, as in two physical SIM cards. At least in India.
The Flip model, meanwhile, will only include one physical SIM slot. Like the Galaxy Z Flip 4 last year, it should come with eSIM functionality for dual-SIM users. But you can’t insert two SIM chips in this phone.
Samsung probably won’t sell a dual-SIM variant anywhere and not just in India. Unfortunately, that’s all we can take away from the BIS certification for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. We expect leaks and rumors about the devices to come more frequently in the build-up to their launch next month.
The Galaxy Tab S9 series is also picking up regulatory approvals
Coinciding with the Indian regulatory body’s certification for the new foldables, the UAE’s TDRA (telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority) has certified the Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Both Wi-Fi (SM-X710) and 5G (SM-X716B) versions of the former have picked up regulatory approval in the Gulf country, while only the Wi-Fi version (SM-X910) of the latter has passed the tests so far. The Galaxy Tab S9+ is also pending TDRA certification.
Once again, these certification listings don’t give us any notable detail about the new tables apart from their model numbers. However, the recent developments are signs of a nearing launch of the devices.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Tab S9, and Galaxy Watch 6 have already picked up regulatory approvals in several other markets, including the US (certified by the FCC). Stay tuned for their official launch at the end of July, which will be followed by a market release in the first half of August.
