Finally, Samsung phones will get a feature that users have been asking for for a while.
Samsung undoubtedly manufactures some of the best phones of the year, but the business is determined to maintain one feature that has been disputed for many years.
We're talking about the speed at which its expensive phones charge. For a long time, Samsung has lagged well behind the other Android manufacturers. The 25W battery in the base models and the 45W battery in the Ultra are starting to cause problems for anyone spending more than €1,000 on a device. The South Korean business seems to want to allay the general discontent with the Galaxy S26.
A user found a line of code in One UI 8.5 that has raised concerns, despite the fact that the Galaxy S26 won't be available for another six months. T smThe leaked software claims to have information that ensures the Galaxy S26 Ultra can charge at up to 60W. This isn't a guarantee.
agic solution, and Samsung will still be a long way from what brands like Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, or Xiaomi offer, but it's at least a significant improvement.
Today, 25W charging on a €1,000 phone is ridiculous. It can't even be considered fast, and systems have evolved enough to be able to include much faster speeds without compromising battery life or device security. The 60W power on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is welcome, but this update is also expected to come with an additional power supply on the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Edge.
While fast charging can certainly make batteries suffer more, advances in recent years have made it possible to significantly mitigate this problem, offering 60-80W charging with stable and safe degradation.
