Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will boost charging speed for a faster user experience. Leaks reveal upgrades to 60W wired and 25W wireless charging speeds for the flagship model. This turning point marks a long-awaited enhancement in Samsung’s charging capabilities since 2017.
Previous leaks reveal this essential move by Samsung to give the top-tier Galaxy S26 Ultra a significant charging upgrade, bumping the wired charging speed from 45W to 60W. Though this still can’t compete with the lightning speeds of the OnePlus 15, Xiaomi 17 Ultra or the Oppo Find X9 Pro, it’s a step forward in this key feature.
According to a report from Korean outlet ET News, Samsung is about to equip the Galaxy S26 Ultra with up to 25W fast wireless charging. The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus will also get upgrades, supporting up to 20W wireless charging. Before now, all Galaxy models supported up to 15W wireless charging.
The report reveals that all upcoming models next year will feature faster speeds. It’s a welcome development as it will be the first time in almost six years that Samsung has upgraded wireless charging speeds.
The details about whether the Galaxy S26 series will support Qi2 charging speeds of up to 25W or include a built-in magnetic ring similar to the Pixel 10 series are yet to be known. It’s likely to see both Qi2 magnets and faster charging supported, since Samsung recently introduced its MagSafe-style chargers.
There have been many leaks about the Galaxy S26 series recently. Initially, it was thought that they would launch in February 2026, but a recent update suggests it will come in late January instead. After Samsung dropped the Galaxy S26 Edge for the Plus model because of poor sales of the S25 Edge, we got the first look at the Galaxy S26 Plus. Before the launch next year, there could still be new changes to the series.
