A newly listed 60W power adapter may signal Samsung’s long-awaited upgrade to faster charging for its flagship phones—starting with the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Samsung May Finally Be Boosting Charging Speeds
Samsung has long stuck to 45W wired charging on its flagship smartphones, even as rivals pushed speeds far higher. But that might change with the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, as signs point to the debut of a 60W USB-C fast charger.
- A new charger, model EP-T6010, appeared on Samsung’s website without a formal announcement.
- It’s branded as the 60W Power Adapter and supports USB PD 3.1 PPS, a step up from the older USB PD 3.0 used in Samsung’s 45W charger.
This move could finally bring Samsung in line with faster-charging competitors like Xiaomi and OnePlus.
What Makes the 60W Charger Stand Out
The EP-T6010 adapter boasts impressive flexibility and efficiency:
- Variable output from 5V to 20V, with support for up to 3A current.
- Ultra-low idle power consumption — as low as 5mW when not in use.
- Despite its 60W capacity, it doesn’t require a 5A cable, making it compatible with most existing high-quality USB-C cables.
This makes it suitable for charging not only phones but also:
- Tablets like the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra
- Wireless earbuds
- Smartwatches
- Laptops like the Galaxy Book 5 Pro
Designed for the Galaxy S26 Ultra?
While Samsung hasn’t confirmed compatibility, the timing strongly suggests this charger is built with the Galaxy S26 Ultra in mind:
- The S26 Ultra is rumored to support faster charging for the first time in years.
- The phone may launch alongside this charger, aligning with Samsung’s shift to USB PD 3.1 PPS standards.
Also, early accessory listings and firmware leaks for the S26 Ultra reinforce that hardware enhancements—including faster power delivery—are part of this year’s upgrade focus.
Alternatives If You Charge Multiple Devices
If you’re looking for multi-device charging, Samsung still offers a 65W Trio Charger with:
- Two USB-C ports
- One USB-A port
- Ideal for users who want to charge a phone, tablet, and earbuds simultaneously
However, the new 60W adapter could appeal to users who want maximum power output from a compact, single-port solution—likely ideal for Ultra phone users or travelers.
