The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 supports wired charging at a maximum of 25W and wireless charging at 15W. While it does not come with a charger in the box, it can utilize any compatible Power Delivery (PD) or Programmable Power Supply (PPS) charger to achieve its maximum charging speed[1][4][8].
Charging Options
- Wired Charging:- Maximum Speed: 25W
- Full Charge Time: Approximately 84 minutes
- Performance: Can reach about 30% charge in 15 minutes and 50% in 30 minutes[1][8].
- Wireless Charging:
- Maximum Speed: 15W
- Full Charge Time: Over 2 hours (may vary depending on conditions) [4][8].
- Reverse Wireless Charging: Supports up to 4.5W for charging other devices[1].
Using Different Chargers
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 can indeed support faster charging with a different charger, but it is limited to the maximum of 25W for wired connections. Some third-party chargers, like those from Belkin or Anker, can provide optimal charging solutions, but they will not exceed this limit. For example:- Belkin Portable Charger: Offers up to 45W, but when used with the Z Fold 5, it will still only deliver the maximum supported speed of 25W[2].
- Anker Nano 3: A compact charger that provides up to 30W, also capped at 25W for the Z Fold 5[2].
In summary, while you can use various chargers to potentially enhance the charging experience, the Galaxy Z Fold 5's charging capabilities are capped at its specified limits.
