Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S8 can charge another phone, but not directly. It supports wireless charging, which allows you to charge compatible devices by placing them on a charging pad.
Here's how it works:
- Wireless Charging Pad: You need a wireless charging pad that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S8. The phone has a built-in receiver that enables wireless charging.
- Placement: Place your Samsung Galaxy S8 on the charging pad, and it will begin charging.
- Other Devices: You can also charge other Qi-compatible devices on the same charging pad, such as other smartphones or wireless earbuds.
Note: The Samsung Galaxy S8 does not have reverse wireless charging capability. This means you cannot charge another device directly from the phone itself.
For example, you can use a wireless charging pad to charge your Samsung Galaxy S8 and another phone simultaneously.
Important: Always check the specifications of your charging pad and the devices you want to charge to ensure compatibility.
