TL;DR<\/p>\n

A new firmware leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging.
\nThat\u2019s a major jump from the 45W limit on previous Ultra models, though still slower than some rivals.
\nThe phone is expected to keep its 5,000mAh battery and use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.<\/p>\n

Samsung might not be boosting battery capacity on its next high-end flagship, but it looks like faster charging is finally on the cards for the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tipter Erencan Y\u0131lmaz on X<\/a> (via SamMobile<\/a>) spotted a reference to the device\u2019s charging speed in a new One UI 8.5 firmware leak. The two strings of code, as shown below, strongly suggest\u00a0support for 60W wired charging \u2014 a notable upgrade from the 45W cap on previous Ultra models.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

This lines up with a previous claim from Ice Universe<\/a> that Samsung would increase charging speeds on the S26 Ultra to 60W. Others, like Yogesh Brar and Chunvn8888, had speculated it could go as high as 65W, though today\u2019s firmware suggests the more conservative figure is correct.<\/p>\n

While 60W still trails the 80W or even 120W charging offered by some rivals, it would represent Samsung\u2019s most significant charging speed bump in years, and could help bring full charge times down from just under an hour to something closer to 40 minutes. The phone is still expected to use a 5,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the S26 Ultra, we\u2019ve already seen signs that it will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset<\/a> and could be part of a renamed lineup<\/a> alongside a Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge. But faster charging may become one of the most noticeable upgrades for many users, especially those tired of seeing cheaper phones charge twice as fast.<\/p>\n
