Samsung is about to take a significant step in the charging speed of its smartphones with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to industry reports, the new model will come with 60W fast charging feature, which will be introduced via the upcoming One UI 8.5. This development could help Samsung catch up in competition with Chinese manufacturers who already offer charging speeds of up to 240W.
The introduction of Super Fast Charging 3.0 in One UI 8.5 suggests that Samsung is looking to significantly increase its charging speed. Text strings indicating this new feature have been discovered in the One UI 8.5 firmware files. Even if the exact power is not explicitly mentioned, it is assumed that it is the previously leaked 60W.
Historically, Samsung has gradually increased its charging speeds. Starting with 15W for the Galaxy S6 in 2015, to 45W for the Galaxy S20 Ultra in 2020, to the current 45W for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The expected increase to 60W could help Samsung catch up with competitors, who often use proprietary charging protocols to achieve higher speeds.
In contrast to many Chinese manufacturers, Samsung relies on the USB Power Delivery standard, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of chargers. This could be a crucial advantage for users who do not want to rely on proprietary solutions. The introduction of 60W fast charging could also further increase the appeal of Samsung’s flagship models.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to launch in early 2026. Experts believe that the increased loading speed will be an important sales factor, especially in markets where loading times play a large role. It remains to be seen how this development will affect competition in the smartphone market.
