Overview

• Leaks from Weibo tipster IceUniverse suggest the S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging, up from Samsung’s previous 45W limit
• Internal IceUniverse tests indicate the S26 Ultra can refill to about 75–80 percent in 30 minutes, with conservative projections suggesting speeds up to 90 percent
• This uptick in charging speed mirrors what the outgoing S25 Ultra managed after its introduction rather than marking a breakthrough leap forward
• Samsung no longer bundles a charger or provides official charging-time estimates, leaving consumers without standardized performance metrics
• Despite the upgrade, Samsung’s 60W standard still trails rivals such as OnePlus, whose recent models achieve between 80W and 100W charging speeds
