No Fast Charging for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, Reveals 3C Certification
Samsung is gearing up to launch the next generation of its foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, expected to arrive in July 2024. Recent leaks from China's 3C certification process shed light on one area where these new devices might not see significant improvement: charging speed.
Limited Charging Speed Based on Certification:

Both the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 received 3C certification, which often reveals details about a device's charging capabilities. While the certification doesn't explicitly state charging speed, it lists the phones as compatible with Samsung's EP-TA800 charger. This charger is known to be limited to 25W fast charging.

This information aligns with past iterations of the Galaxy Z series, which have consistently offered 25W fast charging since their inception. If the 3C certification proves accurate, it suggests that Samsung might be sticking with this charging speed for the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 as well.
Possible Battery Specs and Design Changes:
Earlier leaks from Safety Korea certification hint at a dual-cell battery setup for both foldable phones. However, details about the overall battery capacity remain unknown.
In terms of design, leaked renders suggest a potential shift for the Z Fold 6. It might embrace a boxier design with sharper corners, possibly featuring a titanium frame for added durability. The Z Flip 6, on the other hand, might retain its current design aesthetic. Color options for both phones have also been rumored, but specifics are yet to be confirmed.
Verdict:
While the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are expected to bring advancements in other areas, faster charging might not be one of them. This could be a point of consideration for potential buyers, especially considering that some competing foldable phones offer significantly faster charging solutions. We'll have to wait for Samsung's official announcement to confirm these details and learn more about the upcoming foldable flagships.
