Hold up, Samsung fans! Rumors are swirling about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and this time, they’re promising something we’ve waited ages for. Forget the same old song and dance – it looks like Samsung might finally be ready to crank up the charging speed on its top-tier phone. Seriously, it’s about time, right?
Faster Charging? Samsung Might Actually Do It!
Okay, listen to this. Trusted tipster Ice Universe dropped the bomb: the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could smash Samsung’s own charging record. We’re talking speeds faster than the measly 45W cap that’s plagued the Galaxy S25 Ultra (and models before it) for years. Honestly, seeing the recent Galaxy Z Fold 7 limping along on 25W charging was painful, especially at that price. So yeah, any progress here is welcome news, even if we’re playing catch-up.
Let’s be real though. While breaking Samsung’s internal record is cool, rivals like the OnePlus 13 and Honor Magic Pro are already blasting past 100W. So the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra speeding up? It’s less about leading the pack and more about Samsung desperately trying not to get left completely in the dust. Still, we’ll take it!
Power Boost & Shake-Up: What Else is Brewing?
But wait, there’s more! The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t just about plugging in quicker. Whispers suggest it’s getting a beastly custom chip – a special “For Galaxy” version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The juicy part? Samsung might actually make this chip themselves using their fancy new 2nm tech. If true, this could give the S26 Ultra a real edge in speed or battery life over rivals using slightly older 3nm chips. That’s a potential game-changer.
And get this – Samsung might be shaking up its whole lineup. Word is the Galaxy S26 Plus could get the axe. Instead, a brand new “Galaxy S26 Edge” might slide in between the regular S26 and the mighty Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Sounds like Samsung’s rethinking how to tempt buyers across different budgets. Interesting move!
