TL;DR
- Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and Wide Fold will likely debut with scam detection on board.
- The feature uses Gemini to detect suspicious calls in real-time and is currently limited to English-speaking users in the US on the Galaxy S26 series.
- We’ve found evidence to suggest that not only will the new foldable devices include scam detection, but Samsung could also expand the feature to more countries.
Google has been constantly pushing Scam detection as part of its broader AI suite. Use Gemini to analyze calls in real time and warn users about potential fraud. The feature first appeared on Pixel devices, where it works on the device to preserve user privacy while identifying suspicious and suspicious patterns in conversations.
Now it looks like Samsung is preparing to go further with its next-generation foldable devices.
While researching the Phone by Google app (version 217.0.895016164-publicbeta-pixel), we found references suggesting that Gemini-powered scam detection is expanding to Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices.
The following model numbers appear in the application:
- SM-F976 (Z-Fold 8)
- SM-F971 (Wide Fold)
- SM-F776 (Z-Flip 8)
These are accompanied by multiple model numbers showing regional variants of those devices, including:
- B (global)
- U/U1 (locked/unlocked by US carrier)
- W (Canada)
- C, Z, Q (other regional markets)
Interestingly, an expected global variant of the Galaxy Z Flip 8, SM-F776B, appears to be missing from the model number list. It’s unclear if this is just an oversight or something more intentional.

The wide variety of regional SKUs listed in the app not only suggests that scam detection is coming to Samsung’s new foldable devices, but also shows that the company is planning a broader rollout of the feature beyond the US. For what it’s worth, Google already supports scam detection in multiple countries on Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 devices.
Samsung is expected to present its next foldables at a Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2026And while it’s not really a surprise that the new phones have a feature that the Galaxy S26 series already has, it’s good to know that Samsung will make scam detection more widely available. It also indicates that Galaxy S26 users in other countries could gain access to scam detection once it rolls out to the new foldable devices, or perhaps even sooner.
