- A new leak suggests the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might support faster-than-45W charging, making it the fastest charging Samsung smartphone ever.
- Samsung flagships have maxed out at 45W USB PD PPS since 2019, while rivals have progressed to significantly quicker charging speeds but often with proprietary solutions.
- Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed any specifications for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Samsung is basking in the glory of higher demand for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 lineup, but the company is also preparing for its next flagship, the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to be released in early 2026. We’ve heard a fair few leaks about the lineup already, with most of them pointing towards a modest upgrade as is tradition for Samsung. However, the latest leak suggests faster charging could finally (finalllllyyy!) be coming to the Galaxy S flagship lineup, and I am very excited for this to pan out.
As per a leak from Universe Ice on X, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could finally get more than 45W fast charging, high enough to claim that it would be the fastest charging speed in Samsung’s history.
