Executive warnings about rising memory costs put potential price hikes on the table.

Overview

  • China’s 3C listing indicates the S26 Ultra supports 60W wired charging, and a leak of Samsung’s internal tests claims 0–75% in 30 minutes under controlled conditions.
  • Evan Blass backs a Feb. 25 Galaxy Unpacked date, with multiple reports pointing to retail availability in early March.
  • The Ultra is widely reported to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with an M14 OLED that adds a built‑in privacy display feature.
  • Reports suggest wireless charging upgrades to Qi2.2, with 25W on the Ultra and 20W on the S26 and S26+, plus magnetic alignment across the lineup.
  • Battery capacity for the Ultra remains disputed around 5,000–5,200mAh, while Samsung executives signal that higher memory prices may prompt regional price increases and altered promotions.
