How fast is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 charging speed?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: Minor upgrades that might just make a difference
With foldables no longer the niche products they were just a few years ago, competition in this segment has never been more intense. After the recent unveiling of the Razr Fold by Motorola, all eyes are now on Samsung’s upcoming line-up of foldables, which is expected to go official on July 22.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is rumored to be largely identical to its predecessor, at least in terms of design. However, when compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the upcoming foldable is expected to have some welcome improvements on the inside, most notably in the battery and charging department.
If the leaks and rumors are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 will get a bigger 5,000mAh battery. While not all that impressive by 2026 standards, it’ll still be a worthy upgrade over the 4,400mAh power pack that has remained the same across multiple generations of Samsung’s flagship foldable smartphone.
Not only that, but the newest foldable is also expected to support faster 45W wired charging. Again, it’s nothing groundbreaking (even compared to the 60W wired charging speed of the Galaxy S26 Ultra), but it’s still an upgrade over the measly 25W wired charging you get with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. As far as wireless charging is concerned, the 15W speed is expected to remain unchanged.
Even with all these improvements, Samsung’s latest upcoming top-tier foldable won’t be able to touch Motorola’s Razr Fold, which packs blazing-fast 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, as well as a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery. Add in stylus support, and you’ll see why it’s one of the best foldable phones available in the market right now.
While we have no doubts that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will end up being a part of that list as well, it’s largely shaping up to be an incremental update over the previous-gen model.
