Samsung has typically used 45W charging for better safety. Meanwhile, Chinese phone makers routinely offer 120W charging. Now, Samsung appears ready to increase charging speeds.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra might support 60W fast charging. However, actual charging speed also relies on the charging system. Some 33W phones charge faster than 40W ones in real use. Samsung’s 25W and 45W chargers offered only minor speed differences. This is because they were tuned similarly.
A source claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra reaches 75%–80% in thirty minutes. The source noted Samsung users have “finally made it.” But a YouTube video shows the Galaxy S25 Ultra reaching 73% in 31 minutes. That phone uses 45W charging with an official charger. So, is the 60W upgrade a big deal?
Based on the reported numbers, this 60W boost seems like a small step. It’s like the jump from 25W to 45W chargers. It is a good update, but not a major reason to buy a new phone.
The source’s comment about Samsung users finally making it, with a sarcastic emoji, hints at the small gain. What truly matters is how fast a phone charges. The power rating on the charger is less important.
