The frequency of Galaxy S26 leaks has increased dramatically since the beginning of the year. No wonder, as the big Galaxy Unpacked event<\/a> in San Francisco is slowly approaching, albeit a little later than usual in recent years. Today, January 14, 2026, leaker Ahmed Qwaider, who has provided accurate information in the past, also weighed in. While his latest post<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter) doesn’t reveal any groundbreaking news, it does corroborate some previously unconfirmed details from earlier leaks and rumors. <\/p>\n

Last year, there were claims of faster charging on all three Galaxy S26 models<\/a>. While only the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to benefit from a maximum charging speed of 60 watts, the Galaxy S26 is also expected to see its current 25-watt limit via USB-C increased to 45 watts, the same maximum as the Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a>. The leaker has now confirmed this information and also reveals what is likely to be the most probable chipset distribution for the Galaxy S26 series in Europe. <\/p>\n

Accordingly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will probably be the only model internationally to house the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a>, while the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ will have the Exynos 2600<\/a> on board, the world’s first 2nm chip, long well before Apple, Qualcomm and Mediatek are expected to advertise 2nm processors towards the end of the year. Although it is still not 100% certain that the Galaxy S26 EU model will feature an Exynos 2600, the evidence is mounting, with Geekbench GPU scores for the international Galaxy S26 model recently making an appearance.<\/a><\/p>\n

As a young tech enthusiast with a history involving assembling and overclocking projects, I ended up working as a projectionist with good old 35-mm films before I entered the computer world at a professional level. I assisted customers at an Austrian IT service provider called Iphos IT Solutions for seven years, working as a Windows client and server administrator as well as a project manager. As a freelancer who travels a lot, I have been able to write for Notebookcheck from all corners of the world since 2016. My articles cover brand-new mobile technologies in smartphones, laptops, and gadgets of all kinds.<\/p>\n

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The frequency of Galaxy S26 leaks has increased dramatically since the beginning of the year.
