The Galaxy Z Flip series offers plenty of reasons to ditch your slab-style phone. This year, there’s a new addition to the original flagship - the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
Samsung has been rumored to be developing a Fan Edition (FE) version of the Z Flip, and it is now being brought to life. The Z Flip 7 FE appears to be a more affordable version of the Z Flip 7, incorporating some of the same design philosophy as the Z Flip 6.
Basically, this phone folds in half, fits in your pocket, and keeps up with your everyday apps. But if you’re switching from an iPhone or own MagSafe accessories, you’ve probably wondered: Can this Flip support MagSafe?
In this guide, we’ll see if the Galaxy Flip 7 FE has MagSafe and how a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE case helps. We’ll also walk you through three safe and easy ways to make your Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE MagSafe-compatible—without compromising your phone.
MagSafe started as an Apple-exclusive feature, but it’s since become a go-to for anyone who values wireless convenience with a secure magnetic snap.
Here’s why users love it:
Stronger, aligned wireless charging: The magnetic connection ensures proper coil alignment, reducing charging interruptions.
Modular accessories: From wallets and power banks to mounts and grips, MagSafe unlocks a whole ecosystem.
Secure fit, no bulk: Magnetic attachments hold firm without adding thickness or relying on clunky clips.
Cross-device compatibility: While originally designed for iPhones, more third-party accessories now support Android phones, if they have magnetic rings.
For Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE users, replicating this experience is worth it, especially if you already own MagSafe gear.
Technically, no, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE doesn’t support MagSafe natively. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options.
Unlike recent iPhones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE doesn’t have built-in magnets around its wireless charging coil, which is essential for MagSafe functionality. It does support Qi2 wireless charging like the Z Flip 7, which powers up your phone wirelessly, but without that magnetic alignment or attachment.
That said, you can still enjoy MagSafe-like functionality with the right accessories. Whether you want stronger magnetic grips, faster charger alignment, or to reuse existing MagSafe wallets, you’ve got a few workarounds that are safe, affordable, and reversible.
Here are three simple ways to make your Z Flip 7 FE MagSafe-compatible, all without tools or modifications.
The simplest and cleanest option is to use a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE case that already has a built-in magnetic ring. These cases are specifically designed to:
Match the wireless charging coil’s position
Provide a strong magnetic hold
Avoid interfering with the Flip’s hinge or folding mechanism
There’s something to love and hate about using cases, but this one’s all worth it as it opens up possibilities for magnetic wireless charging and accessory attachments.
Here’s what to look for in a MagSafe-compatible case:
Ultra-thin build: Thicker cases reduce magnetic hold and charging efficiency.
Proper ring alignment: Misaligned magnets can mean weak hold and spotty charging.
Flip-safe hinge design: Look for cases that don’t add stress to the hinge.
💡 Pro Tip: Make sure the case clearly states compatibility for the Z Flip 7 FE and not the Z Flip 7, as it won’t likely fit. Though similar, the Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE differ slightly in size, screen design, and button layout.
If you love your current case (or use the phone without one), a magnetic ring adapter is the next good thing. These are thin adhesive-backed rings that stick to the back of your phone or case to simulate MagSafe.
Here’s how it works:
The ring adds magnetic force in the same position as an iPhone’s coil.
When placed correctly, it enables your Flip to attach securely to MagSafe mounts, wallets, and wireless chargers.
There will be no impact on folding or screen use if installed correctly.
How to apply a MagSafe adapter ring (step-by-step):
Clean the back of your case or phone.
Find the center of your wireless charging coil (usually just below the Samsung logo).
Use the alignment guide (most rings come with it).
Peel and stick—press firmly for 30 seconds.
Wait a few hours before using MagSafe accessories.
Some adapter rings come in metal or magnetic polymer. Make sure the one you pick is safe for Qi charging and heat-resistant.
⚠️ Warning: Don’t place the ring directly on the phone’s glass back unless it’s a temporary setup. Removing adhesive can damage finishes.
If charging alignment is your main goal, you don’t need the magnetic ring. You can use a MagSafe-compatible wireless charging pad that has an outer magnetic ring to guide your phone into the ideal charging position.
These chargers are designed with embedded magnets that snap your phone into place, even if the phone itself doesn’t have a MagSafe ring.
This method works best when combined with a thin case or no case at all. You won’t get a magnetic hold strong enough to hang the phone vertically or attach it to car mounts, but you will enjoy more reliable charging alignment and less fumbling.
It’s ideal for nightstands, desks, or any stationary setup where you just want better charging consistency.
Some wireless chargers advertise themselves as “MagSafe-compatible” even if they don’t support Apple’s full 15W output for iPhones. However, for Android devices like the Z Flip 7 FE, the key benefit is magnetic centering, not faster speeds. Always double-check that the charger is Qi-certified and doesn’t interfere with your Z Flip’s folding mechanism.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE doesn’t come with native MagSafe support, but it’s surprisingly easy to work around that. Whether you go for a case with built-in magnets, apply a stick-on ring, or just use a MagSafe-aligned wireless pad, each option has its own benefit depending on how you plan to use your phone.
We do think you can make the most out of a MagSafe case, especially one that’s almost a second skin to your phone. This is because it keeps the phone’s slim profile intact while giving you access to any kind of MagSafe accessories in any way — all without adding bulk or interfering with the fold.
MagSafe can be a great addition to your Z Flip 7 FE, as long as you’re mindful of what works best with your Flip.
No, using third-party accessories like MagSafe rings or cases won’t void your warranty, as long as they don’t cause physical damage. Avoid sticking adhesive directly on the phone’s glass back to be safe.
Not exactly. Qi2 supports similar charging efficiency and alignment, but without a magnetic ring, it won’t work with MagSafe accessories out of the box.
It can be, especially if the ring is too thick, misaligned, or made of the wrong material. Use rings labeled as Qi-compatible and heat-resistant to avoid reduced charging speed.
“MagSafe-compatible” works with magnets but isn’t Apple-certified. For Androids, that’s fine. Just ensure the charger is Qi-certified and safe to use with your device.
