Samsung is expected to hold the next Galaxy Unpacked event in August this year. The event is likely to see the arrival of multiple flagship devices, such as the Galaxy Z foldables, the Galaxy Tab S9 series, and the Galaxy Watch 6 series. Ahead of the expected launch, the 3C certification platform in China approved the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 today. As usual, the 3C certification (via. TechGoing) has revealed the charging capabilities of both models.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 have appeared with respective model numbers SM-9460 and SM-7310 in the database of the 3C certification. Both models are listed with a 25W Samsung charger that has the EP-TA800 model number.

The original Galaxy Fold and its follow-up device, the Galaxy Fold 5G offered 15W charging. The Z Fold 2, which debuted in 2020, was the company’s first foldable phone to support 25W charging. Unfortunately, it appears that the Z Fold 5 coming this year will make no improvements in the charging department.

While the rumor mill is yet to leak the battery size of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, it is certain that it will be quite smaller than the Z Fold 5. Still, the device is likely to offer the same 25W charging support as the Z Fold 5. At present, there is no word on whether the Z Fold 5 will come equipped with a larger battery. To recall, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 from last year houses a 4,400mAh dual-cell battery.

The Galaxy S23 series that debuted earlier this year features the custom-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset. Rumors are rife that the same chip will power the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.
