For several years, Samsung has refused to offer charging beyond 25W, where the competition has crossed this threshold for some time. Even on its premium smartphones, you have to wait more than an hour to fully recharge the device. Unfortunately, it seems that this still does not change on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6.
We cannot take away from the manufacturer that he knows how to hold his positions. Between Samsung and 25W charging, it’s a great love story. The brand has refused to cross this barrier for years, even on its premium smartphones. 200W at Xiaomi, 240W at Realme and up to 260W at Infinix, innovations in the field continue but at Samsung, we are still lagging behind.
Officially, the Korean manufacturer has always advocated battery protection to justify this choice. However, as we have already explained, the multiple protections, both at the software and hardware level, which have emerged in recent years on smartphones compatible with fast charging make it possible to limit this degradation of the battery. Despite everything, Samsung continues to turn a deaf ear and it seems that this will not change on its next smartphones.
On the same subject — Samsung will think big with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, especially in terms of the screen
You will still have to settle for 25W charging on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6
Indeed, we have bad news for you if you were expecting change on Samsung’s next folding phones. As reported by leaker Ice Universe, who had access to the certification documents for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, the two smartphones will still have to make do with 25W charging. As a great philosopher once said, We weren’t expecting anything but we’re still disappointed.
Samsung is therefore clearly not ready to change its mind on this point. Moreover, we should still be entitled to some improvements on the two models, particularly in terms of screens and photos. Above all, the firm could have a nice surprise in store for us in the form of a brand new, much more affordable model, which should sell for around €800. Enough, perhaps, to expand a still relatively niche market.
