Galaxy S26 Ultra to feature 60W charging, a 33% boost over its predecessor, claim reliable insiders.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks : The battery and charging speed of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have been the subject of much discussion. Initially, it was believed that 65W wired charging will be supported by Samsung’s flagship device in 2026. Reports later indicated that it might just be 60W, but it now appears that 60W may be the ultimate amount. Although the S26 Ultra will be faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which enabled 45W charging, it will still fall short of the speed provided by many Chinese brands, according to a post on X by trustworthy tipster UniverseIce.
Consumers want to know if Samsung plans to improve its batteries further.
Galaxy S26 : Battery Dimensions Remain Constant
With a rated battery capacity of 4,855 mAh, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has received Chinese certification; hence, its marketed size is likely to be 5,000 mAh.
This and previous Ultra variants are nearly identical. Samsung appears to be maintaining the same battery capacity, even though some Chinese companies are already providing significantly larger 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon batteries for extended usage.
This implies that even while charging is a little quicker, customers might not notice significant increases in battery life.
Confusion Regarding Charging Speed
UniverseIce’s assertion that it supports 60W charging contradicts a 3C certification that was issued last week and only mentioned 45W charging. It’s possible that the certification was based on outdated or unfinished information, or that various places may receive varying charging speeds.
Samsung is now just making a little upgrade from 45W to 60W, which is still far less than several of its Chinese competitors who are providing 100W or even 150W fast charging. This implies that while the S26 Ultra will charge more quickly than the S25 Ultra, it won’t do so as swiftly as certain rival phones.

To find out the precise charging speed, battery performance, and any regional variations, fans will have to wait for the official debut.
Furthermore, it is unclear if Samsung will optimize battery longevity, heat management, or power efficiency further in order to maximize this little boost in charging speed.
