- A new firmware leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging.
- That’s a major jump from the 45W limit on previous Ultra models, though still slower than some rivals.
- The phone is expected to keep its 5,000mAh battery and use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.
Samsung might not be boosting battery capacity on its next high-end flagship, but it looks like faster charging is finally on the cards for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Tipter Erencan Yılmaz on X (via SamMobile) spotted a reference to the device’s charging speed in a new One UI 8.5 firmware leak. The two strings of code, as shown below, strongly suggest support for 60W wired charging — a notable upgrade from the 45W cap on previous Ultra models.
