Leaked test results from Galaxy S26 Ultras new 60W charging fail to impress Leaked test results from Galaxy S26 Ultras new 60W charging fail to impress

Internal testing has shown that Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new 60W charging can fill the battery from 0% to 75% in 30 minutes, reveals Ice Universe. This was tested under laboratory conditions, whatever those were (presumably controlled room temperature).

That doesn’t sound particularly impressive for a 15W increase over the Galaxy S25 Ultra. As a reminder, in our review of the S25 Ultra, we saw a 72% charge after 30 minutes.

And yes, the S26 Ultra is supposed to have a bigger battery, though rumors suggest it will only go up to 5,200mAh (+200mAh compared to the 2025 model). A word of caution before you get your hopes up: there are some conflicting reports and some suggest that the battery capacity will remain at 5,000mAh for this year’s Ultra.

Samsung recently launched a brand new 60W charger in preparation for the upcoming flagship, which all but confirmed the new charge rate. This next part hasn’t been confirmed yet, but there’s talk of a wireless charging upgrade too – from 15W to 25W – and magnetic cases.

P.S. the 60W upgrade applies only to the Ultra. The S26 and S26+ are expected to stay at 25W and 45W, respectively.
