Galaxy Z Fold 5 wireless charging comparison vs Z Fold 4
Wired charging may still be the fastest way to charge your phone, but wireless charging is way more convenient. You just put your phone on the wireless charger, and it starts charging. Then, when the battery is full, you just grab your handset and put it in your pocket. It's that simple.
On August 11th, Samsung's all-new Galaxy Z Fold 5 officially hit the shelves. And if you are considering getting one, you are probably wondering how fast the Galaxy Z Fold 5 charges wirelessly. Also, does it fill its tank faster than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 4? Well, in this article, we will compare the wireless charging capabilities of these two awesome phones and find out which one is better — in terms of wireless charging, of course.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 comes with Samsung's Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, which means it supports up to 15W of power input. As for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, it also supports up to 15W of wireless charging.
For this comparison, we used Samsung's recommended 15W Wireless Charger EP-P2400 to charge the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The charger was connected to the wall via Samsung's official 25W Samsung EP-TA800 charging adapter, which comes with Super Fast Charging support. And we used an original Samsung Type C to Type C cable to connect the adapter to the wireless charger.
Well, as you can see, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 needs a bit more time to fully charge its battery than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. That said, both phones were pretty much on par during the 15-minute and 30-minute checkpoints. This probably shouldn't surprise us, given that both phones have the same 4,400 mAh battery capacity and support 15W wireless charging.
It's somewhat disappointing that we didn't receive an upgrade in the battery and charging departments of this year's Galaxy Z Fold 5. The phone takes almost the same amount of time to charge to 100% wirelessly and has almost the same battery life as its predecessor. But at least you now know that you won't score an upgrade in terms of wireless charging if you trade in your Galaxy Z Fold 4 for the latest and greatest Galaxy Z Fold 5.
