Samsung has launched the new Galaxy Z Fold 5, and it once again does not come with a USB-C charger in the box. Which is not a huge surprise, most OEMs ditched that a couple of years ago. Luckily, you can get a decent USB-C wall charger for not a whole lot of money. And since the Galaxy Z Fold 5 does not support anything faster than 25W, you won’t need to spend top-dollar for a much faster charger. Though, it’s a good idea to do that, as you can use it to charge other things like laptops, tablets, etc.
In this list, you’ll find a number of great USB-C wall chargers that you can pick up for the Galaxy Z Fold 5, some of which are as low as $10.
Samsung 25W Travel Adapter
– Price: $19.99
– Buy: Samsung.com
This is the charger that Samsung shipped with the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series last year. So it’s not necessarily a new charger from Samsung, but one that you might already have in your home. And it works great with the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
This is a USB-C PD charger that can charge up to 25W. Now if you are charging something else that might not charge at up to 25W it will charge at that rate. Basically, it is backwards compatible. Which is a nice addition.
Finally, the Samsung 25W Travel Adapter is available in two colors: White and Black.

Belkin 25W Power Delivery USB C PPS Wall Charger
– Price: $19.99
– Buy: Amazon
This wall charger from Belkin does support up to 25W charging speed, and it uses PPS in addition to Power Delivery. PPS is what Samsung uses for the faster charging speeds. So you will for sure get the full 25W charging out of this one. And it’s the same price as the Samsung charger above.
It will also work with almost any other USB-C device, as this is backwards compatible, even with phones that are not USB-C PD.

Spigen 40W Dual USB C Wall Charger
– Price: $29.99
– Buy: Amazon
Spigen also makes chargers. Yes, the company you know for making great cases for literally every phone ever made. They also make a few chargers that are worth buying, like this one for the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
This is a dual-port USB-C PD charger that can charge at up to 40W. You won’t get 40W out of each port, but rather combined. It will do 25W at most, but if you’re using both ports together, it’ll be closer to 20W each.

RAVPower 61W PD 3.0 Wall Charger
– Price: $21.99
– Buy: Amazon
Another great option for the Galaxy Z Fold 5, especially if you have other devices you need to charge. The RAVPower 61W charger has a 61W USB-C PD port and a 12W USB-A port. However, if you are using both ports, the USB-C port becomes a 45W port. That’s just how power works.
It is backwards compatible to the 25W charging that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is able to support. But it’ll also work for charging USB-C laptops and even tablets, which is really useful. Making this charger quite versatile.

Anker GaNPrime 735 Charger
– Price: $59
– Buy: Amazon
This is one of our favorite USB-C chargers, because it’s a new GaN charger so it’s much smaller while still boasting 65W of power.
This particular charger has two USB-C ports and a USB-A port. So you’re going to be able to charge multiple devices at the same time. While this will charge at faster speeds than 25W, your Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t charge faster, as it will only ask for 25W. But this is a good charger to take traveling to charge your laptop, smartphone and maybe a smartwatch too.

RAVPower 65W 4-Port Desktop USB Charging Station
– Price: $49
– Buy: Amazon
Since we are all working from home right now, this charger from RAVPower is a really great one to buy. This is a four-port desktop USB charging station. It has two USB-C PD ports available that can charge at 65W total. So it could charge your laptop and your Galaxy Z Fold 5 at the same time.
It also sports two USB-A ports for charging other devices slower, like a smartwatch or a fitness tracker.
This makes this a must-buy for a home office setup. Especially since we all have plenty of products that we need to charge daily.

CHOETECH 20W PD Fast Charger
– Price: $12.99
– Buy: Amazon
Here’s another 20W charger, and as mentioned above, you won’t see much of a difference between 20W and 25W charging. This is a smaller one, so you can still use it to travel with. Toss it in your bag, without it taking up a lot of space.
It is available in both black and white, however for some reason, the black one is actually $2 more expensive.

UGREEN USB C Charger 20W PD Fast Charger
– Price: $13.99
– Buy: Amazon
This 20W charger from UGREEN is also fairly cheap, coming in at under 25W. If you’re wondering why so many chargers are capped at 20W, it’s because of the iPhone. But it’ll still work fine on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. And slower charging is actually better, as your battery will last longer in the long run.
At 20W, you should see about 50% charge on your Galaxy Z Fold 5 in about 30 minutes.

Anker PowerPort III Duo Type C Foldable Fast Charger
– Price: $29.99
– Buy: Amazon
The PowerPort III Duo from Anker is a really good option. This sports two USB-C ports, that support PowerIQ 3.0 (that’s Anker’s proprietary fast charging spec). We’re looking at 36W on this one, so it’s not so much a super fast charger, but it can charge two devices simultaenously.
The plug on the PowerPort III Duo does also fold, making this great for traveling. As you won’t need to worry about the plug getting bent while you have it in your bag.
