Galaxy Z Fold 8 Leaks Flag 45W Charging and a Bigger Battery as Design Holds Steady

Fresh evidence points to an internal-first upgrade targeting long‑running battery and charging complaints.

Overview

  • China’s 3C database, which lists wired‑charging specs, showed Monday that SM-F9710 and SM-F9760 support 15V at 3A, indicating 45W for the book‑style Fold models tied to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup.
  • A separate 3C entry for SM-F7760, associated with the Galaxy Z Flip 8, points to roughly 25W wired charging with no speed increase for the clamshell model.
  • CAD-based renders published Tuesday by OnLeaks and Android Headlines depict a Fold 7-like design with slightly thicker dimensions at about 158.4 x 72.8 x 9mm folded and 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.5mm open.
  • Tipsters report a 5,000mAh battery, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, and a dual‑layer ultra‑thin glass panel that Samsung Display demonstrated at CES 2026 to reduce crease visibility.
  • Industry coverage expects a July Unpacked reveal, with talk of S Pen support still unconfirmed and Samsung yet to verify consumer‑facing specs or any changes beyond the Chinese 3C filings.
