There have been rumors that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging, which would be a significant improvement over the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 45W support. Last month, a 60W power adapter quietly appeared on Samsung’s website, seemingly corroborating earlier reports. Although this was the strongest evidence yet that the company is ready to move on to faster charging speeds, it’s still not clear how much faster it will actually be.
To give us a better idea of what to expect, well-known tipster Ice Universe shared some new information today. According to the leaker, “official” test results show that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can charge from 0 to 75% in just 30 minutes. The tipster adds that the test was conducted under Samsung’s controlled conditions and not real-world conditions.
There are a variety of factors that can influence charging speed, like voltage and temperature. So it would be nice to know the real-world numbers. Regardless, these results do sound promising.
