Galaxy S27 Ultra Rumored to Keep 60W Charging With Faster Speeds
A leaker claims Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra will keep the Galaxy S26 Ultra's 60W rating but hold higher power for longer, charging 2-3% faster.
Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to keep the same 60W charging rating as the Galaxy S26 Ultra, according to the leaker WalleGalaxy, as reported by androidauthority.com. The change would come from charging optimizations rather than a higher wattage number.
WalleGalaxy claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra could sustain around 55W to 56W for longer than its predecessor, letting it hold higher power levels during the early stages of a charge. That, in turn, could make the phone charge about 2% to 3% faster than the Galaxy S26 Ultra despite carrying a larger battery.
It remains unclear whether those charging improvements would stay exclusive to the Galaxy S27 Ultra or extend to other models in the lineup. Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S27 series early next year.
Where the S26 Ultra Stands
The Galaxy S26 Ultra supports 60W Super Fast Charging 3.0 and can reach around 75% in 30 minutes, according to Samsung. In October 2025, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max arrived with a 5,391mAh rated battery, edging past the Galaxy S26 Ultra's 5,000mAh cell, while Apple also substantially improved wired charging to match Samsung. The next Galaxy Ultra is already rumored to have a 5,700mAh battery.
