The puzzle pieces for Samsung‘s upcoming foldable lineup are quickly locking into place. Earlier whispers pointed toward some exciting shifts—like a lighter body and a dual-chip distribution. However, the latest news regarding the battery department might leave power users wanting more. A recent appearance on a regulatory platform just pulled back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Flip 8‘s fast-charging capabilities, ruling out the long-awaited upgrade.
No charging speed upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8
As spotted by The Tech Outlook, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 recently cleared its official hurdles on the SGS certification database. The public paperwork lists an array of regional variations, confirming that the hardware is prepped for an international rollout across global markets.
Unfortunately, the tech specs hidden inside these documents put an end to any rumors of a high-speed charging revolution. The database lists the smartphone with a charging profile of 9V at 2.77A. This translates straight to standard 25W wired fast charging.
Four generations of playing it safe
If that number sounds incredibly familiar, it is because it is the exact same floor plan Samsung has relied on for years. So, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will likely charge at the exact same velocity as the older Flip 7, Flip 6, Flip 5, and Flip 4. This means the product family is entering its fourth consecutive generation without a meaningful boost to its fill-up times.
On the other hand, if rumors are true, Fold fans will be happy in this section. Leaks claim that the book-style Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra are finally jumping up to 45W capabilities.
More specs
Returning to the Flip model, the rest of the anticipated sheet remains competitive. Rumors suggest we can look forward to a 4,300mAh power cell, a 50MP main camera system, and 12GB of RAM. You can also expect a significantly brighter display layout to help offset the lack of a speed bump. A repot report suggests a dual-chip regional strategy for the device as well.
We won’t have to wait very long to see how these elements perform in the real world. The official unveiling is expected to happen as early as next month. Until then, just keep in mind that you’ll likely want to keep your existing charger handy if you plan on making the upgrade.
