It was recently rumored that Samsung will bring faster charging speeds to its next flagship smartphone. While it was leaked that the Galaxy S26 Ultra would bring 60W fast wired charging, it wasn't clear how much faster it would actually be compared to existing 45W fast charging. Now, that information has been leaked.
According to tipster @UniverseIce, the Galaxy S26 Ultra can fill up its battery from 0% to 75% in just 30 minutes when it is charging using a compatible 60W fast wired charger. This is based on Samsung's controlled conditions, and actual speeds could vary slightly based on the ambient temperature and other local factors.
If this information is correct, the Galaxy S26 Ultra can charge slightly faster than Samsung's previous phones. However, it still won't charge as fast as some Chinese smartphones. Most flagship smartphones from Chinese brands charge around 90% in 30 minutes with an 80W or more powerful charger.
It was also leaked earlier that Samsung is bringing Qi2.2 wireless charging to the Galaxy S26 series. While the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature 25W fast wireless charging, the Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26+ would be limited to 20W wireless charging. All three phones are expected to have built-in magnets for alignment.
