Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 MagSafe: How It Works & The Best MagSafe Accessories for Your Fold
I’ve used the Fold series since the Fold 3, and the number-one question I get is: “Does the Galaxy Z Fold 7 support MagSafe?” Short answer: the Fold 7 charges wirelessly via Qi/Qi2, but it doesn’t include Apple’s built-in magnetic ring.
The good news? You can still get MagSafe-style magnetic alignment with the right Z Fold 7 MagSafe case or a magnetic ring adapter.
Below I’ll explain how it works, what to look for in a magnetic case, and my recommended chargers, stands, and car mounts that pair perfectly with the Fold 7.

What Is MagSafe? (Quick Primer)
MagSafe adds a magnetic alignment ring around the wireless charging coil. The magnets help accessories snap into place: chargers, stands, wallets, and car mounts. Wireless power still uses the Qi/Qi2 standard—MagSafe’s big advantage is alignment and accessory mounting. Explore compatible add-ons in our Z Fold 7 Accessories.
Does the Z Fold 7 Have MagSafe Built In?
