Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra charging speeds boosted, requires new accessory

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Samsung's latest Galaxy S26 series, particularly the S26 Ultra, offers significantly faster charging capabilities, reaching up to 60 watts with Super Fast Charging 3.0. This upgrade, however, necessitates the purchase of a compatible charger, as Samsung, like Apple, no longer includes them in the box. Third-party manufacturers such as Anker, Belkin, and Ugreen provide affordable and efficient GaN chargers that can deliver the required power, enabling users to take full advantage of the S26 Ultra's rapid charging speeds.
