Your new Galaxy S26 Ultra will charge faster than ever before

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has many great features to be excited about. Samsung's latest flagship brings several key upgrades, including one that a lot of fans have been looking forward to.

It has made a meaningful change to the device's charging speed, enabling the Galaxy S26 Ultra to charge faster than any Samsung flagship before it.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has support for 60W wired fast charging, a 33% jump in speed compared to the 45W wired fast charging supported by the Galaxy S25 Ultra and other Samsung flagships.

It may be difficult to quantify just how that translates into real life, so there's a handy benchmark you can keep in mind to realize how quick the device charges. At 60W, your Galaxy S26 Ultra's 5,000mAh battery will be charged up to 75% in just 30 minutes.

This means that even if you have a few minutes to plug in your phone before you dash out the door, as batteries charge the fastest when they're low, it'll pick up a decent bit of charge that can easily last you a few hours.

It's not just wired charging that has been upgraded. Samsung has also elevated the wireless charging experience on the device. The Galaxy S26 Ultra supports wireless charging at 25W, making the option much more usable.

Meaningful upgrades like these go a long way in improving the overall user experience for customers. Samsung has done a good job of addressing this key consideration for users, thereby making their lives that bit easier.
