dug through<\/a> Google public beta app version 217.0.895016164 by phone. They found the model numbers of all three Samsung 2026 foldables buried in scam detection code. These include the Z Fold 8 (SM-F976), Z Flip 8 (SM-F776), and the Wide Fold variant (SM-F971). Regional versions also appear, covering global, US carrier-locked, US unlocked, Canada, and many other markets. One detail worth noting: the expected global variant for the Flip 8, the SM-F776B, is notably absent from the list. Android Authority could not confirm whether this was a mistake or intentional.<\/p>\nWhat does scam detection actually do?<\/h2>\n
Google’s Scam Detection uses on-device Gemini AI to monitor calls in real time. If it picks up conversation patterns that match known scam tactics, it alerts you with a notification, sound, and vibration. Nothing gets left out of your device. Samsung has been working towards this type of security for some time. The Gemini-powered version that debuted on the S26 is a step up from earlier efforts.<\/p>\n
The feature runs through the Samsung Phone app, not Google’s dialer. This is how Samsung worked around foldables by using a different default calling app. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is already Samsung’s biggest foldable push in years. Bringing Galaxy Z Fold 8 scam detection out of the box would be a solid addition to its launch package. Z Flip 8 is expected to come with it. If the absence of the SM-F776B is just an omission, both phones should be covered.<\/p>\n
Both foldables are expected to launch in July. Samsung hasn’t confirmed this, so consider the model number findings a strong hint and not a done deal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Scam calls are not going away. If anything, they have become harder to identify as AI makes them more reliable. Samsung brought Google’s Gemini-powered scam detection to the Galaxy S26 in February. Now it looks like the Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 are next.
