Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Fold 6: Is 25W charging enough in 2024?
Samsung is gearing up to launch its sixth generation foldables and these upcoming devices including Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 have recently got approval from 3C which confirms 25W charging support for the models. But here one question arises, is 25W charging enough in 2024?
At this time and especially in the era of AI, users mostly rely on their smartphones whether it’s for work, education, entertainment, or communication, and for this, an individual needs to carry a device with a good battery and an adequate charging speed.
No doubt, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 will boast noteworthy features, impressive design, and cutting-edge capabilities. But the charging speed of the sixth generation foldable phones might be a factor that can greatly impact user experience.
Because 25W charging was considered fast a few years ago and the smartphone industry has now glimpsed significant advancement in charging technology. Even the Plus and Ultra models of Galaxy S24 Series support 45W fast charging which can be considered as a significant upgrade.

With competitors offering higher charging speeds like 100W, it’s worth exploring whether the 25W charging capability of Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 devices is sufficient to keep up with the demands of modern users or it lacks in offering an adequate interpretation.
