We\u2019ve spotted branding for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/super-fast-charging-3-0-3619931\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Super Fast Charging 3.0<\/a>, which aligns well with rumors of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-60w-fast-charging-speed-leak-3613523\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">60W PPS charging destined for the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>. Samsung is also working on faster wireless charging, and we\u2019ve now spotted more clues about it.<\/p>\n<p>Current builds of Samsung\u2019s One UI 8 include the following strings for wireless charging:<\/p>\n<p>Code<\/p>\n<p>Copy TextWireless charging: %d%%&#13;<br \/>\nFast wireless charging: %d%%<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfast wireless charging\u201d toast typically appears when charging with 15W wireless chargers, while you get the usual \u201cwireless charging\u201d toast with 5-10W chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_1m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A newer One UI 8.5 build now includes a third string, this time for Super fast wireless charging:<\/p>\n<p>Code<\/p>\n<p>Copy TextSuper fast wireless charging: %d%%<\/p>\n<p>There is no version number associated here, unlike what we saw for wired charging.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S20 series from 2020 was the first Galaxy S flagship to support 15W wireless charging. Ever since then, every Galaxy S flagship has featured the same 15W speeds under the \u201cFast wireless charging\u201d branding, despite several competing Android flagships offering wireless charging solutions with speeds of 50W-80W with proprietary wireless chargers.<\/p>\n<p>With the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung is rumored to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-series-wireless-charging-leak-3614564\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">finally upgrade wireless charging speeds<\/a>. The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus could finally upgrade from 15W to 20W wireless charging, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra could jump up to 25W wireless charging. This upgrade is said to reduce wireless charging time by 40%. It remains to be seen which of the two speeds would get the \u201cSuper fast wireless charging\u201d branding.<\/p>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
