Potential Safety Concerns: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 65W Charging Feature

Reports indicate that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could encounter difficulties in achieving the much-awaited 65W fast charging capability, a recurring issue with Samsung’s flagship devices.

In comparison to competitors like OnePlus, which supports 100W charging, Samsung’s flagship phones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, have been limited to 45W fast charging.

Initial expectations for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to address the slow charging issue have been dampened by recent leaks.

According to @SPYGO19726, internal testing has revealed that the proposed 65W charging speed for the Galaxy S26 Ultra is jeopardized by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor’s heat generation, which poses a challenge for achieving optimal charging speeds.

Interestingly, Samsung’s own Exynos 2600 chip appears to be unaffected by similar thermal limitations.

Exynos 2600: A Potential Game-Changer

The latest buzz surrounds Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip, which promises to rival Qualcomm’s offerings in terms of performance.

Leaked benchmarks suggest that Samsung’s custom chip outperforms Apple’s A19 Pro in CPU, GPU, and NPU performance.

Despite rumors of regional chip variations, it is unlikely that Samsung will limit charging speeds based on region, implying consistent charging capabilities across the board.

While hopes were high for improved charging speeds, it appears that Samsung may once again fall short of the competition in 2026.
