The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra features improved charging speeds over previous models.

Charging Speeds

| Method | Maximum Speed | Notes | |--------|--------------|-------| | Wired | 60W | Up from 45W on S25 Ultra | | Wireless | 25W | Requires compatible charger | | Reverse Wireless | 4.5W | Emergency device charging |

Wired Charging

60W wired charging delivers:

• 0-50%: ~30 minutes
• 0-100%: ~60-70 minutes

Note: Samsung does not include a charger in the box. You need a 60W+ USB-C PD charger.

Wireless Charging

25W wireless requires a compatible charger. Many users report difficulty achieving full speeds—chargers often default to 10-15W instead.

Reverse Wireless Charging

4.5W output charges Qi-compatible devices placed on the phone's back. Useful for emergencies but too slow for regular use.

Recommended Chargers

Wired:

• Samsung 65W Super Fast Charger
• Anker 737 GaN Prime 65W

Wireless:

• Samsung 25W Wireless Charger Pad

Charging Tips

1. Use a high-quality cable rated for 60W+
2. Avoid phone use while charging for maximum speed
3. Charging slows above 80% to protect battery health
4. Keep phone at moderate temperature while charging

Comparison

While 60W improves on Samsung's previous 45W, competitors offer faster charging: OnePlus (100W+) and Xiaomi (120W+) fully charge in 20-30 minutes.
