How to properly align your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 on a wireless charger

Last Update date : Aug 24. 2026

Because the wireless charging coil in the Galaxy Z Fold8 is located toward the bottom of the device, you may need to position your phone differently than expected on a wireless charger. Properly aligning the charging coil with the centre of the charger can help ensure wireless charging starts and continues normally.

Because the wireless charging coil is located toward the bottom of your Galaxy Z Fold8, the centre of the phone does not need to be aligned with the centre of the wireless charger.

Place the lower portion of your Galaxy Z Fold8 over the centre of the wireless charger, as shown below. If charging does not begin, slowly move the phone slightly up or down on the charger until the charging indicator appears. Once wireless charging begins, leave the phone in that position to maintain proper alignment.

  • Check for foreign objects. Ensure there is no dirt, dust, or metallic debris between the back of your device and the charging pad surface.

  • Check your phone case. If you are using a third-party cover thicker than 5mm or a case holding credit cards, remove them before charging. We recommend using official Samsung covers.

  • Verify third-party charger compatibility. Third-party wireless chargers have varying internal coil structures. Even if centered, they may experience dropouts. Ensure your charger features the official WPC (Qi) certification mark.

Note: Using a Samsung-authorized charging pad is recommended for optimal performance and safety. Please note that uncertified charging pads may not charge your device correctly.
