The latest buzz around Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra suggests a welcome upgrade to its charging capabilities. Samsung has listed a new 60W power adapter on its official website, seemingly confirming that the flagship will support faster charging speeds than its predecessor. This development is gaining traction after initial rumors sparked debate among fans and tech experts alike.
Official 60W Charger Listing Strengthens Charging Upgrade Rumors
Samsung's website now features a new black charger with the model number EP-T6010NBEGWW, capable of delivering 60W charging power. Notably, no current Samsung smartphone supports 60W charging, making this the first official indication that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will elevate fast charging standards beyond the 45W offered by the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

This charger supports USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1, an improvement over the S25 Ultra's PD 3.0 technology, enabling faster and more efficient charging. Additional features include Smart IC technology to minimize power wastage when the adapter is unused, underscoring Samsung’s commitment to energy efficiency.
Charging Upgrade Aligns with Other Key Improvements
While the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain its 5,000mAh battery capacity, faster charging is a critical upgrade to meet user demands. Combined with the more power-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and the new M14 display material, users can anticipate enhanced battery longevity and quicker recharge times.
Launch Timeline and Other Anticipated Features
Initial reports suggested a February or March release for the Galaxy S26 lineup, but recent leaks now indicate a possible unveiling in late January — consistency bolstered by the timing of the charger listing on Samsung’s site. Alongside the charging boost and chipset refresh, Samsung is also rumored to introduce a refined design for its flagship Ultra model.
