Overview
- Reports Monday cite China’s 3C certification entries showing 15V/3A (45W) for model numbers SM-F9710 and SM-F9760, which outlets link to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a wider Fold variant.
- A separate 3C listing ties SM-F7760 to the Galaxy Z Flip 8 at roughly 9V/2.77A, which equals about 25W and points to no wired charging increase for the clamshell model.
- Leaked details circulating the same day describe a broader upgrade for the Fold 8, including a ~5,000mAh battery, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, and 8.0-inch inner and 6.5-inch cover 120Hz displays with a dual-layer UTG panel.
- Even with 45W, the Fold line would still sit below the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s reported 60W charging, so the change narrows but does not close Samsung’s speed gap with its slab flagship.
- Outlets note that 3C filings only reveal wired charging parameters and do not confirm final specs or names, with official details widely expected at Samsung’s July Unpacked event.
