Leaked internal test results for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra suggest its new 60W charging speeds may underwhelm tech enthusiasts. According to reliable leaker Ice Universe, lab tests show the device can charge from 0% to 75% in 30 minutes. While faster than its predecessor, the improvement is marginal for a 15W power upgrade.

Context from the S25 Ultra shows that model reached 72% in the same timeframe, meaning the new speed is barely a generational leap. This is significant because competitors like Xiaomi and OnePlus are pushing charging speeds well over 100W. With a rumored battery increase to only 5,200mAh, Samsung appears to be prioritizing battery longevity over rapid charging dominance, potentially disappointing power users who demand quick top-ups.
