Galaxy S26 Pro, Edge, and Ultra listed in certification, proof of disappointing charging speeds
Galaxy S26 Pro and Edge may support up to 25W charging, and the Ultra - up to 45W, which are the same speeds as their predecessors. And that was quite disappointing, but mind you, at the time, this was just a rumor with no concrete proof to back it up.
Now, there's proof that suggests we aren't getting any upgrades in the charging department for the Galaxy S26 lineup.

Galaxy S26 Pro and the Galaxy S26 Edge support up to 25W charging. In the meantime, the biggest of the series, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, supports up to 45W charging according to the document.
So now, what IceUniverse said earlier seems... well, more like the real deal.
Chinese phones are offering much higher charging speeds
S26 phones ends up being true.
We have Chinese brands offering smartphones with charging speeds as high as 100W for quite some time now (one example is OnePlus), and Apple and Samsung are biting these phones' dust when it comes to charging.
Are you okay with Samsung keeping 25W/45W charging speeds on the Galaxy S26 lineup?
iPhone 17 has gotten an upgrade in the charging department with 40W charging support, but Samsung seems to be stuck with 25W and 45W. S26 series may not be so special, including a rumor indicating that camera sensors may be the same for the Ultra as they were this year.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 – and it's proven to be successful so far. The thing is, before the foldable was announced, initially, we were hearing rumors that things would be the same as the Fold 6. Which they weren't entirely. Galaxy S26 series to surprise us with something new. Especially now with the serious threat from the new iPhone 17 phones. Apple has quite a lot of upgrades this time around, including for the base model, which finally got ProMotion, an upgraded display, more battery life, and some seriously Pro features, and the iPhone 17 Pro is taking things up a notch with a more durable design and new telephoto camera...
The competition is strong, and in my humble opinion, Samsung cannot let itself take it easy with the Galaxy S26 series.
