The Accessory Samsung Galaxy S26 Users Should Be Taking Advantage Of

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is the company’s first Galaxy phone to support 60-watt wired charging, up from the 45-watt limit that had persisted across its flagship lineup, while the S26+ and Ultra also gain faster wireless charging. The base Galaxy S26 keeps 25-watt charging but moves to a 4,300 mAh battery from 4,000 mAh in the S25, with battery capacities otherwise unchanged. The shift matters because Samsung had trailed Chinese manufacturers offering 80 watts and higher, leaving its premium devices behind on a spec buyers notice. The S26 series is Samsung’s current flagship and has been well received, though the company has drawn criticism for several generations of limited camera and battery upgrades. Next, watch whether the faster charging carries into future Galaxy models and whether Samsung extends it to the standard S26.
