The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has long been rumored to up its wired charging capacity to 60W. The S26+ was supposedly staying at 45W just like the S25+, and the S26 at 25W like the S25. But today a new rumor claims the vanilla Galaxy S26 will actually go up to 45W, matching the Plus model.
Of course it remains to be seen what this means in practice in terms of an actual improvement in charging time, but it’s a good move nonetheless. The Galaxy S26 and S26+ are both said to be using the Exynos 2600 chipset, though it’s not mentioned whether it will make an appearance in some markets only. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is again rumored to go with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 instead, while the trio is said to be unveiled on February 25.

We can’t verify the accuracy of this information, so do take it with a pinch of salt. That said, it’s high time Samsung’s least expensive flagship device moved past 25W, in a world in which its Chinese competitors have been at multiples of that for years.
