The Galaxy Z Fold 8 doesn’t need a Samsung charger — here’s what to buy instead

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its Ultra variant now support faster charging, with the ability to charge at 45W, an upgrade from the previous generation's 25W. However, the Z Flip 8 is still limited to slower charging for the time being. If you're considering upgrading from an older foldable, you might not need a new charger.

Priced under $30, they offer good value and peace of mind with their official Samsung branding.
