Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Charging Support and Battery Capacity Leaks

There are numerous rumors swirling around Samsung’s next-generation foldable smartphones, creating a cloud of speculation and confusion. Questions abound: Will there be two Fold6 models? If so, will they be labeled as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Fold6 FE, or perhaps Fold6 and Fold6 Ultra? Additionally, will there be a Flip FE model? The more rumors emerge, the more uncertainties arise.

A reliable source has provided some insight into the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 battery, although it’s unclear which specific Fold6 model this pertains to. The leakster, Ice Universe, claims the Fold6 will feature a 4,400 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. In a subsequent response to a user on X (formerly Twitter), Ice Universe confirmed that these specifications are “final,” indicating no further changes in the device’s development stage.

These specifications might sound familiar because the Galaxy Z Fold5, launched last year, also featured a 4,400 mAh battery with 25W wired charging. If this rumor holds true, it could be disappointing news for those hoping Samsung would enhance the battery capacity and charging speed of its larger foldable.

Interestingly, this isn’t a technical limitation of the form factor. For example, Vivo’s recently launched X Fold3 Pro boasts a 5,700 mAh battery that supports up to 100W charging. This suggests that Samsung’s decision not to increase the Fold6’s battery capacity or charging speed is a deliberate choice, rather than a constraint.

The Fold6 is rumored to be unveiled at Samsung’s next Unpacked event, which is expected to take place in Paris in early to mid-July. This anticipated launch will likely provide answers to many of the prevailing questions about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices.
