New leaks continue to be shared for Samsung's new flagships, the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Most recently, significant details have emerged regarding the Super Fast Charging 3.0 and 60W wired charging support to be offered with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Initial test results suggest that this increase might be limited in practice.
May Fall Short of Expectations
According to internal test data shared by Ice Universe, the Galaxy S26 Ultra reaches approximately 75% charge from 0% in about 30 minutes under laboratory conditions. This value is quite close to the 72% achieved by the Galaxy S25 Ultra with 45W charging in the same amount of time. Moreover, this difference is observed despite a 15W increase.
Clarity regarding the S26 Ultra's battery capacity has not yet been established. Some leaks suggest the capacity will increase to 5,200 mAh, while other sources claim Samsung will maintain the 5,000 mAh limit. Furthermore, Samsung's recent introduction of a new 60W charging adapter largely confirms that this speed will be exclusive to the S26 Ultra.
The standard Galaxy S26 model is expected to continue with 25W charging, and the S26+ with 45W charging. The likelihood of Super Fast Charging 3.0 being offered to previous generation models is quite low. On the other hand, a more significant improvement in wireless charging is on the agenda. There are talks of increasing the current 15W limit to 25W and adding magnetic case support.
Of course, these claims have not yet been confirmed, but it appears Samsung aims to expand its charging ecosystem not just through wired speed, but also through overall ease of use. Indeed, previous battery issues have also caused the company to act cautiously for a long time.
