Galaxy S26 Ultra Charging Still in Flux as Tipster Backs 60W, China Filing Lists 45W

Reporters say the charging spec remains unconfirmed and may differ by market until Samsung finalizes the details.

Overview

  • On September 23, tipster UniverseIce reiterated that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support up to 60W wired charging, rejecting talk of a 45W cap.
  • A recent China 3C certification for the Ultra lists 45W wired charging and a battery rated at 4,855 mAh, implying roughly 5,000 mAh typical capacity.
  • Outlets caution that no charging figure is official yet and suggest the certification could reflect testing hardware or a China-specific configuration.
  • If 60W pans out, it would be an upgrade over Samsung’s current 45W implementation but still slower than many Chinese flagships.
  • GSMArena reports earlier 65W rumors are unlikely, and coverage broadly expects clarity closer to the phone’s 2026 launch window.
