Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra charging specifications leaks

A new code in the One UI 8.5 test pack hints at a big jump in charge tech for the S26 line. A new line in the code reads “Super fast wireless charge”, and that is the first clear sign that Samsung will lift its slow pace in this key area.

For five long years, top Samsung has been stuck at 15W for wireless charging, while many rival Android kits have raced to 50W, 60W, or far more by use of custom chip work.

Now it looks like that long wait is set to end. The leak aligns with past tips suggesting the new S26 Ultra may support 25W charging. The base S26 and the mid S26 Plus may also reach near 20W. That alone is a big lift for steady day use and will ease the swift battery drain that many users have.

Code: <string name = "kg_power_super_fast_charging_wirelessly" > Super fast wireless charging %d%% </string>

The code also links to a fresh spec for cable use. The S26 Ultra may push up to 60W. That is a sharp step up from the past 45W cap and may cut wait time by a big slice. According to reports, these improvements may bring a 40% increase in power.

A gain like that will help most in the rush of the day, when you have little time to plug in. A fast top-up of ten minutes can now give far more use time. This is key for work days and long trip days when you jump from task to task.

This move also shows a shift in the way Samsung sees the high-end phones. For long, the brand played it safe, it had a slow plan to charging tech. Its plan kept heat low, but also made the user feel left out when they saw fast charging from many other phone makers.

The One UI 8.5 leak shows that the firm now aims to fix that gap. The S26 series may not beat all rivals in pure watt count, but the jump is still huge for day use. It shows that the brand hears the loud call from fans who want a phone that can keep up with life's pace.
