Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 shouldn’t be capped at 25W charging
Samsung is rapidly gaining different kinds of certifications and hardware elements approved by international authorities on its next-gen foldables. In a recent development, the 3C certificate of Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 revealed that Samsung is again bringing 25W charging support.
In the recent past, Chinese phone makers introduced smartphones that support over 200W fast charging. Even in the foldable segment, Samsung rivals have brought up to 100W wired charging to foldable smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 shouldn’t be capped at 25W charging!
At present, 25W charging support isn’t fast, which Samsung also determines for a long. However, it appears that the company’s most expensive phone of 2023 may be capped at 25W charging support, which sounds outdated now.
Meanwhile, there are some technical facts that still give us hope to wish for higher charging speeds on the next-gen Samsung foldables. Since 3C claims 25W charging, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 may introduce even faster charging support.
A tipster pointed out that the charger used for 3C certification is a 25W PD charger, which means it can only charge the tested devices at a maximum of 25W. That said, the maximum charging speed could be beyond 25W, probably 45W.
Launched back in February this year, the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S23 Plus are equipped with up to 45W fast charging. The company has upgraded the charging abilities of the S23 Plus, taking it to 45W from the conventional 25W.
Last year’s foldable phones (Galaxy Z Fold4 and Flip4) come with 25W charging. Therefore, expectations are high when it comes to faster charging, which could be possible as Samsung did the same with S23 Plus.
This year’s foldable phones (or at least the Fold 5) should have at least 45W fast charging. What do you think? Let us know via social media. Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook
In the case of the S23 Ultra, the 3C certification said it was a 25W charge, but it was actually a 45W charge.

Samsung preps 2nm GAA tech for mass production
Samsung will reveal the third-gen GAA applied in the 2nm (SF2) process at the VLSI Symposium 2024 BusinessKorea reports. The company will likely commence mass production based on its next-gen (2nm) fabrication process next year.
High production costs and economic downturn benefitted TSMC in 3nm products. Apple’s latest chip is fabricated on a 3 nanometer process node, while the latest Snapdragon chips still utilize 4nm tech. Meanwhile, Samsung aims for third-gen GAA to apply in the 2nm process.
Well, Taiwan’s TSMC is also targeting GAA technology for 2nm products. Faster adoption and production are expected to push Samsung Foundry to gain clients. Competitive pricing would also benefit it bringing back consumers like Qualcomm for Snapdragon.
Samsung GAA
Samsung’s GAA is a next-gen transistor technology, which regulates and amplifies or switches off the flow of current within a semiconductor. It features a redesigned transistor architecture to overcome problems like current flow in smaller semiconductors to improve power efficiency.
