Galaxy Watch 8 users are roasting Samsung over this awkward charging flaw

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-26 16:37:49

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 owners complain it won’t charge properly on Samsung’s wireless charging pad. The issue stems from the curved default strap, which prevents the watch from lying flat on the Wireless Charger Duo. The included magnetic puck charger works fine, but users are frustrated by the poor fit with official accessories. Samsung has clearly impressed many people with the Galaxy Watch 8, including us.

How to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Watch 8 series

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 features several notable upgrades over its predecessor. For starters, at 8.9mm, it's almost as thin as the S25 Ultra's 8.2mm and 26 percent thinner than the Fold 6. It also has some updates to its image quality, including a jump from a 50MP to a 200MP main camera.

This main camera sensor will apparently be accompanied by a wider aperture. This latest leak comes after a wild rumor that the S26 Ultra would offer a larger 200MP sensor.

Galaxy S25 FE leak reveals new colors, bad news for RAM and storage

TL;DR The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could have 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. While these may be sufficient for most people right now, the specs aren’t very future-proof, especially given the pace of development of AI features.
