Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, Wide Fold and Buds Able edges closer to launch as battery units appear on Indiaβs BIS
The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and the tentatively named Galaxy Z Wide Fold all cleared Indiaβs BIS, along with the mysterious Galaxy Buds Able earbuds. One more box checked, one step closer to landing on store shelves.
Battery certifications surfaced on Indiaβs BIS this week for three upcoming Galaxy foldables plus a mysterious audio product, and the picture forming around Samsungβs summer lineup is getting harder to ignore.
Identification numbers of battery units:
- Galaxy Z Fold 8
- EB-BF976DAY
- EB-BF976DAE
- Galaxy Z Flip 8
- EB-BF776BAE
- EB-BF776BAY
- Galaxy Z Wide Fold
- EB-BF971DAE
- EB-BF971DAY
- Galaxy Buds Able/A BLE
- EB-BU600AAY
Four additional battery units cleared BIS alongside the main three.
Model numbers EB-BF972DAE, EB-BF972DAY, EB-BF977DAE, and EB-BF977DAY. Nobody knows what they belong to. They could be test variants or alternate configurations that Samsung ran through certification and shelved.
Android Authority spotted code strings referencing what looks like the Galaxy Buds Able, or possibly Galaxy Buds A BLE, with the SM-U600 model number. Now a battery unit carrying the EB-BU600AAY designation has cleared BIS.
Battery specs that leaked earlier suggest both the Z Fold 8 and Wide Fold carry 5,000mAh cells, with 45W charging. The Flip 8 comes in lighter at 4,300mAh and 25W.
The Wide Fold is the one worth watching. A 4:3 aspect ratio, if the leaks hold, would push this device into genuinely new territory for Samsung foldables. The concept is interesting enough that even veteran fans have started paying attention.
CAD renders for the foldables have already leaked, which means the industrial design is locked. Battery certifications in India signal the product pipeline is moving. The next few weeks will bring more leaks, more certifications, and more renders.
