Samsung Teases Faster Wireless Charging for the Galaxy S26 With New 25W Charger

It looks like Samsung is finally listening to people who complain that their phones take too long to charge. Rumour has it that the upcoming Galaxy S26 phones, which should launch next year, are finally getting a big jump in how fast they charge without a cable.

To make that happen, Samsung is already cooking up a brand-new wireless charger. This is a clear sign that the company is serious about speeding things up.

Right now, most Samsung wireless charging maxes out at just 15 watts (W). But this new charger, with product number EP-P2900, is expected to handle a much faster 25W. This new charging pad is a must-have because the S26 phones themselves are getting faster.

The top-of-the-line Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to use the full 25W wireless speed. The slightly smaller phones, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+, are expected to power up wirelessly at 20W. That means every phone in the new flagship lineup will charge much quicker than the current models.

A peek at retail data tells us the new EP-P2900 charger will come in a dark grey colour. Its main feature isn't really the look, but the fact that it will charge more than just the S series phones. It’s expected to work with Samsung’s foldable Galaxy Z phones and even your Galaxy Buds wireless earbuds. It’s designed to be a one-stop charging mat for your whole collection of Samsung gear.

The speed improvements aren’t just for wireless power. The old-fashioned way of charging with a cord is also getting faster. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is supposedly going to hit 60W wired charging, finally pushing past the current limit.

The S26+ is expected to charge at 45W, and the smallest S26 model should be able to handle 25W when plugged in. Samsung is making sure its most expensive phone gets the biggest speed boost, no matter how you charge it.
