Samsung Galaxy Ring model numbers

Samsung's Galaxy Ring was initially teased in January, then showcased in February at MWC, and is expected to be fully announced this July at the company's next Unpacked unveiling event, which is also where the next Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold will see the light of day. So far we've been operating under the assumption that there will be nine Galaxy Ring sizes in total, but a new leak kind of implies Samsung may have cut one of those, and settled on eight in the end. This leak gives us the model numbers for the rings, and there are just eight of them: SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Ultra's existence confirmed

The new information includes a model number - SM-F958N, which in turn suggests that this is an Ultra device because historically, all Ultra handsets in Samsung's portfolio end with "8". The internal model name Q6A, but that alone doesn't give us any additional clues. Judging by Samsung's usual naming scheme, however, the SM-F958N model number may suggest limited availability. That's usually a model name for a device destined for the home market - South Korea. So even if Samsung unveils a Z Fold6 Ultra, it could be a South Korea-exclusive device. And to be frank, it makes a lot of sense. Releasing a top-tier Ultra foldable device with all the best available hardware (likely with a significant upgrade in the camera department), inflates the price quite a bit, so Samsung will be producing limited quantities of the Z Fold6 Ultra, just enough for the South Korean market.
