BREAKING: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G S Pen and UWB support confirmed by FCC certification

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G smartphone has just certified by the USA’s FCC certification. The documents revealed a handful of interesting and noticeable features that you should need to know.

According to the FCC listing, the Korean tech giant’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 will feature S Pen support, which was previously exclusive for the Galaxy Note lineup. However, its US variant bears model number SM-F926U.

In terms of connectivity, the next Galaxy Z Fold model will also come with ultra-wideband (UWB) support. If you don’t know, UWB tech is a short-range wireless communication protocol, which accurately defines the location of other UWB devices for a higher frequency data transfer with less power consumption.

It’s worth mentioning that the S Pen functionality was previously exclusive for the Galaxy Note phones, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra had grabbed it earlier this year. And now, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is going to become the first foldable phone that will feature the iconic S Pen support.
