Overview
- Strings in leaked One UI 8.5 builds reference “Super fast wireless charging,” with reports pointing to roughly 25W on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and about 20W on the S26 and S26 Plus, up from 15W on the S25 series.
- Separate code references to “Super Fast Charging 3.0” align with rumors of around 60W wired charging on the S26 Ultra, though Samsung has not confirmed specifications.
- A consolidated specs leak from Ice Universe lists Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 chips by region, a 5,000mAh battery for the Ultra, and thinner, lighter chassis across the lineup.
- Firmware and leak reports suggest built-in magnets for charger alignment and likely Qi2 accessory compatibility across the S26 models.
- Leaked S26 Ultra wallpapers hint at new colors, including orange and a darker black treatment, as reports continue to point to a late January or February 2026 debut without official details yet.
