Samsung’s first tri-fold phone uses advanced wireless charging tech from Witz to maintain its sleek form without compromising performance.
A Breakthrough in Tri-Fold Smartphone Design
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, its first tri-folding smartphone, featuring a 6.5-inch cover display and a 10-inch foldable inner screen. Despite this expansive screen real estate, the device remains remarkably thin—a feat achieved through the use of innovative hardware components, especially in the area of wireless charging.
Slimmer Wireless Charging Module by Witz
At the core of this engineering marvel is a newly designed wireless charging module from Witz, a longtime partner of Samsung. Known for its contributions to previous Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series phones, Witz developed a slimmer and more efficient Qi-compatible module tailored specifically for the Galaxy Z TriFold.
- The module supports 15W wireless induction charging, adhering to the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi standard.
- Its compact design allows the phone to maintain a sleek and foldable form factor without sacrificing wireless charging performance.
Certified for the Future: Qi2 Ready
Another important detail is the Qi2 Ready certification on the Galaxy Z TriFold. While the phone lacks built-in magnets required for direct Qi2 accessory attachment, it can fully support such accessories via a Qi2 Ready magnetic case.
- This flexible approach ensures compatibility with next-gen Qi2 charging accessories, offering future-proof convenience.
- The slim charging module has been praised by Samsung for its performance and stability, earning Witz further recognition.
What This Means for Samsung’s Charging Roadmap
Samsung has used 15W wireless charging in its premium smartphones for over five years. But signs indicate a shift is coming.
- The upcoming Galaxy S26 series is expected to include Qi2.2 certification with built-in magnets.
- Leaks suggest Galaxy S26 and S26+ could support 20W wireless charging, while the S26 Ultra might jump to 25W—a major step forward.
This evolution indicates Samsung’s commitment to faster, more efficient wireless charging, possibly influenced by lessons learned from the engineering challenges of the TriFold.
Setting a New Standard in Foldables
With the Galaxy Z TriFold, Samsung has proven that cutting-edge design and wireless functionality can coexist—even in complex tri-fold form factors. Thanks to Witz’s slimmer wireless charging module, users can expect seamless power delivery without compromising the phone’s portability or design.
