Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 battery and charging
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is Samsung's latest clamshell foldable star. It packs a stylish design and top-tier specs, giving it a monstrous performance despite its tiny dimensions.

However, one of the drawbacks of the clamshell foldables is that they don't exactly fall in the battery champ category. And given the fact that your Galaxy Z Flip 5 will literally become a paperweight that can fold in half when its battery dies, you are probably wondering whether Samsung's latest foldable has a good battery life, how long it lasts on a single charge, and does it have better battery life than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4? Well, let's see.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 have better battery life?


The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has the same 3,700mAh power cell and nearly the same battery life as its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The phone will last you a whole day on a single charge with regular usage, but don't expect more than that. The phone will let you stream videos for 7h 13 min; browse the web for 12h 21 min; or play games for 5h 6 min before the need to charge.

How much battery does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 have?


Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a 3,700mAh battery. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 also comes with a 3,700mAh battery, so there is no battery capacity upgrade from the previous model this year.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 have wireless charging?


Yes, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has wireless charging. It supports the same charging speed as its predecessor, which is 10W. So you will be able to charge your new fancy clamshell foldable wirelessly.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 have reverse wireless charging?


Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with 4.5W reverse wireless charging, just like its predecessor. This means you will be able to charge your Galaxy Buds 2 Pro wirelessly directly by using your new foldable phone.

What charger does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 use?


The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 supports 25W wired charging. This means you will need a compatible charger of at least 25W in order to take advantage of the Z Flip 5's maximum charging speed. Of course, you won't find one in the Galaxy Z Flip 5's retail box, so you will need to purchase a charger separately if of course you don't already have one lying around somewhere.

How fast does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 charge?


The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 needs 94 minutes to fully charge its battery.
