Samsung’s first Galaxy S Ultra smartphone, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, supported charging at up to 45W. The company then launched its next four generations — Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Galaxy S25 Ultra — with the same 45W charging speed.

With the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung has finally increased the charging speed to 60W, bringing the first upgrade in charging performance to the Galaxy S Ultra lineup in five years or since its inception, addressing people's demand. The tech giant calls this Super Fast Charging 3.0.

If you’ve purchased the Galaxy S26 Ultra and are wondering how to charge it at the maximum speed — specifically, which charger and cable you need to charge it at 60W — you’ve come to the right place.

To charge the Galaxy S26 Ultra at 60W, you need one of the following:

  • Samsung’s newly launched 60W charger and the USB-C cable that comes bundled with it. This is a tested charger-and-cable combination that can charge the Galaxy S26 Ultra at its fastest speed.
  • A charger that offers at least 60W output from a single port and supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 or USB Power Delivery 3.1 with PPS, along with a USB-C cable rated for 5A. Some chargers — especially those with PPS support — may charge the Galaxy S26 Ultra at 60W with a 3A cable, but using a 5A cable is the safer option to ensure you reach the maximum charging speed.

By using any one of these charger and cable combinations, you will be able to charge your Galaxy S26 Ultra at 60W. At that wattage, its battery will charge from 1% to 80% in 30 minutes, and reach the 100% mark in 50 minutes, faster than Samsung's claims.
