Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra rumors indicate consistent battery capacity, swifter charging rates
The tech world is abuzz with anticipation for Samsung's upcoming flagship device, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to recent reports, the device is expected to feature a significant boost in charging speed, potentially reaching 65W. This upgrade aims to bring Samsung closer to its competitors like OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Motorola, which have been leading in fast charging technology.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain a 5,000mAh battery, but with faster charging, it may fully charge in around 40-45 minutes. This quick charging capability is combined with new cooling technologies to prevent overheating and ensure battery health.
Comparatively, Motorola's premium models offer charging speeds of up to 67W, while OnePlus models often boast speeds of 65W or more. Xiaomi models, on the other hand, frequently feature charging speeds of 120W or more.
While the exact charging speed of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is not yet known, it's clear that Samsung is making strides to stay competitive in the fast-paced world of smartphone technology.
In other Samsung news, reservations are now open for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 on Samsung.com. Pre-ordering these devices offers a $50 credit, 3x reward points, and other perks. There's no obligation to buy a device when reserving, but the $50 credit is exclusive to reservations.
Rumours also suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may change S Pen tech to make way for Qi2 magnets. However, Samsung has confirmed that it is not using silicon-carbon batteries in the Galaxy S26 Ultra, despite some calls for it. Instead, the company is reportedly working to improve the battery's safety and lifespan.
Samsung is also rumoured to launch a new non-folding flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The device's frame is predicted to be slimmer, potentially around 7.x mm, and the frame is currently 8.2mm thick.
Lastly, Samsung has teased a 'tri-fold' device through One UI 8, which does not unfold like expected. More details about this intriguing development are eagerly awaited by tech enthusiasts.
As always, stay tuned for more updates on these exciting new devices from Samsung.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra may prove to be a formidable competitor in the smartphone market, considering its anticipated upgrade to faster charging technology, possibly reaching 65W, similar to the speeds offered by OnePlus models. Moreover, this device is speculated to incorporate new cooling technologies to prevent overheating and ensure battery health, much like other tech giants such as Motorola and Xiaomi.
