Galaxy S26 series confirmed via certification with 25W and 45W charging speeds. Samsung prepares for early 2026 launch with three models including the premium Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Samsung is preparing a major release with the Galaxy S26 series confirmed through certification in China, revealing charging speeds and setting the stage for its global launch in early 2026.
The certification documents confirm three models Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Each device is listed under Samsung Vietnam manufacturing, highlighting Samsung’s continued investment in its large-scale production facilities.
Charging details show that the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge will support 25W charging. The Galaxy S26 Ultra stands apart with support for faster 45W charging, keeping it as the most premium model in the series.
While the certification covers the Chinese versions, global models may include different charging standards depending on regional requirements. Samsung has historically varied charging speeds across regions, so buyers outside China could see minor changes.
The early 2026 launch window suggests Samsung will maintain its traditional release schedule. This would place the Galaxy S26 series as the direct successor to the Galaxy S25, expected to launch globally in the first quarter of 2026.
Battery charging speeds continue to be a key focus for premium smartphone buyers. With Apple and Chinese manufacturers also pushing faster charging solutions, Samsung’s decision to keep 25W for its standard models and 45W for Ultra shows a balance between safety and performance.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra will likely remain the brand’s flagship offering with its higher power support, catering to users who demand faster charging and stronger overall performance. The certification marks one of the first official confirmations of the series.
With the Galaxy S26 series now certified, attention will turn to design, performance, and camera details, which are expected to surface in the months leading up to the official unveiling.
