Introduction

If you’re the proud owner of a Galaxy Z Fold edition and your S Pen needs charging, you might be wondering how to go about it. Charging the S Pen might seem straightforward, but there are some key things to know to ensure you’re doing it correctly and efficiently. This guide will walk you through the steps and give you tips on troubleshooting in case something goes wrong.

Where to Charge the S Pen

The S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold edition charges safely while it is stored inside the device. When you insert the S Pen into its designated slot, it will start charging automatically. Here’s how:

  1. Find the S Pen Slot: On the Galaxy Z Fold, the S Pen slot is located on the right side of the device. It’s a snug fit, so make sure it goes in completely.
  2. Insert the S Pen: Gently push the S Pen into the slot until you hear a slight click. This means it’s secured and should start charging immediately.
  3. Check the Battery Level: You can check the battery level of your S Pen in the settings. Navigate to Settings > Advanced Features > S Pen > S Pen remote. Here you can see the battery life of your S Pen.

How Long Does It Take to Charge?

Charging the S Pen typically takes about 40 minutes for a complete charge. While it is charging, you can even use your Galaxy Z Fold for other tasks, but it’s a good idea to let it charge fully if you plan to use it for an extended period.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while charging your S Pen, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Make Sure You’re Using the Correct Slot: The charging for the S Pen only works if it’s inserted in the correct slot. Sometimes it can feel a bit tight, but make sure it’s in fully.
  • Check for Debris: Sometimes debris can collect in the charging slot. Gently remove anything that looks like it could obstruct the connection.
  • Device Settings: Occasionally, device settings can affect charging. Make sure your device software is up to date by going to Settings > Software Update.

Conclusion

With just a few simple steps, you can ensure your S Pen is charged and ready for use. By keeping it stored in its slot during the day, you won’t have to worry about running out of battery when you need it most. If you have any other questions or need further help, feel free to ask!

That’s a good point! I found that sometimes the contacts in the pen slot can get dirty, so a quick clean with a dry cloth can help improve charging.
