## Key points

- Some Galaxy phones can wirelessly share battery power.
- Sharing starts above 30 per cent and stops below it.
- It works with Qi phones and many Galaxy wearables, but slowly.

## Summary

Samsung Wireless PowerShare lets some Galaxy phones share battery power wirelessly with another phone or compatible device. It can provide a useful emergency top-up when no charger or power bank is available, though it is slow and inefficient.

The feature works on Galaxy S20–S26 and S10 models, Note 10 and 20 phones, and Z Fold, Z TriFold and Z Flip series; several older Galaxy phones can receive power but not share it. To use it, select Wireless PowerShare from the notification panel and place the devices back-to-back. The sharing phone must have more than 30 per cent charge to start, and sharing stops below that level. It can charge Qi-certified phones, including iPhones, as well as many Galaxy wearables, but heat and energy loss make it less suitable than wired charging or a power bank.
