The lineup is rumored to include the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and the pricier of the three has direct satellite connectivity for emergency situations. However, it is only available in one regional variant.\n<\/p>\n<p>The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/yabhishekhd\/status\/1999308828786237519\" rel=\"nofollow\">given<\/a> its clearance to the Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S9480) for the local market, and related documents have revealed that the Chinese variant of the phone has direct satellite connectivity. It likely allows you to send messages or your location to concerned local emergency services during emergency situations when there is no cellular network nearby. It isn&#8217;t clear if emergency calling is supported.<\/p>\n<p>The certification also reveals that the Galaxy S26 Ultra supports up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-s26-ultra-60w-fast-charging-details-leak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">60W (20V DC, 3A) fast wired charging<\/a> and a 5,000mAh battery.
