Samsung seems to be working on new versions of its popular devices, with both the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and a Galaxy Z Flip FE allegedly spotted in the GSMA database. These new models are expected to launch in the second half of 2025, following in the footsteps of their predecessors.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic: With a rotating bezel expected
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic model was recently found in the GSMA IMEI database under the model number SM-L505U, which follows Samsung's usual numbering convention for smartwatches. This device is likely to feature a rotating bezel, which has been a signature feature of previous Classic models. Samsung had skipped the Pro and Classic editions with its Galaxy Watch 7 series, but it seems the company will bring back this variant in the upcoming launch.
Galaxy Z Flip FE: Budget-friendly foldable smartphone
In addition to the new smartwatch, a Galaxy Z Flip FE model, with the model number SM-F761B, was also spotted in the database. The suffix "B" indicates that this will be the international version of the foldable phone. Expected to be a budget-friendly version of the Galaxy Z Flip, the Galaxy Z Flip FE will likely be paired with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year. It is anticipated to feature Samsung's Exynos 2500 series chipset for improved performance.
What to expect from Samsung's upcoming devices
Samsung fans can look forward to exciting new additions to the Galaxy lineup with the return of the rotating bezel on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and the introduction of a more affordable foldable option with the Galaxy Z Flip FE. Both devices are expected to be part of Samsung’s plans for the second half of 2025.
