Good news: the S26 Ultra finally charges faster than its predecessor. Bad news: you probably need to buy a new charger. Yeah, Samsung still doesn't put one in the box. Here's what you actually need.

The Short Answer

You need a 60W (or higher) USB-C charger that supports USB-PD with PPS. That's the technical stuff. In plain English: not just any charger will hit those advertised speeds.

Chargers That Actually Work

The safe choice: Samsung's own 65W Power Adapter. It's pricier, but zero compatibility headaches.

Solid alternatives that won't break the bank:

• Anker 735 Charger (65W) – This is what I'd recommend to most people
• Anker Prime 67W – A bit nicer, if you want to spend a little more
• Baseus 65W GaN – Budget-friendly and gets the job done
• Ugreen Nexode 65W – Another reliable option

Basically, any reputable 65W GaN charger with USB-PD and PPS will work great.

So How Fast Is "60W Fast Charging" Really?

Let me give you the real numbers, not the marketing ones:

• 30 minutes gets you from dead to about 75%
• 55 minutes for a full charge
• 18ish minutes to hit 50% if you're in a rush

That's with the right charger. With a slower charger, these times stretch out accordingly.

"Can I Use My Old Charger?"

Yes, but don't expect miracles. Here's the reality:

• Your old 45W charger: Works fine, charges at 45W. Not much slower honestly.
• That 25W one from your S21: Still works, but you'll notice the difference.
• The random 5W cube from 2015: I mean, technically yes. But why would you?

One More Thing: Your Cable Matters

Seriously, don't cheap out on the cable. You need USB-C to USB-C, rated for at least 60W (look for 3A or 5A rating). That ancient cable you've been using might bottleneck your charging speed even with a great charger.

The cable in the S26 Ultra box should handle full speed, but if you need extras, stick with reputable brands.
