Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may not support 65W wired charging after all
Today a new report, based on code found in One UI 8, comes to contradict that. If this is accurate information, then the S26 Ultra will only support 60W wired charging.
Yeah, Ice Universe was really right. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W fast charging! https://t.co/KcVQjM7B2J pic.twitter.com/9SOs1nadlr — Erencan Yılmaz (@erenylmaz075) July 29, 2025
Sure, that's not a huge difference to 65W, and it's still a pretty significant improvement from 45W. The aforementioned previous rumor also claimed the phone would get a 5,500 mAh battery, which would be 10% bigger than the S25 Ultra's, but we have to note that other sources do claim the S26 Ultra's cell will actually stay at 5,000 mAh like its predecessor's, with the faster charging support supposedly making up for that somehow.
While this all sounds rather confusing, one thing seems pretty clear: the S26 Ultra will definitely not be a champ in either battery capacity or how fast it charges. In both areas, its Chinese competitors will have it beat, and by a lot. What else is new, right?

Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro designs leak, Week 31 in review
The iPhone 17 Pro, uncharacteristically, leaked in the wild after taking a stroll around Union Square, San Francisco. The phone has a design-protective case, but we can still make out the repositioned LED and LiDAR in the top corner, falling in line with rumors. We also saw iPhone 17 dummies, showing the new color palette. The orange is particularly striking. Expect the iPhone 17 series to be announced in early September, possibly on the 12th. It's not often that we get to see unreleased iPhones in public. The 17 Pro and Pro Max will be available in a bold new orange hue. You can get a better look this time around. We also saw the design of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, thanks to leaked renders. The phone will be flat, slightly wider, and taller than its predecessor, and is expected to be slightly lighter. The rear cameras are no longer just isolated lenses on the rear panel - there's a small, Galaxy Z Fold7-esque island housing three of the four cameras. Samsung also confirmed that the Galaxy S25 FE will launch earlier than its predecessor. Samsung hasn't said when, but the S24 FE was unveiled in September and launched in October, which gives us a rough timeframe. Samsung's next-gen Ultra flagship will be thinner and lighter while featuring updated cameras and faster wired charging. Most of its specs have already been leaked. It's a rebranded Redmi Note 14 with a lower starting price and a new Crimson Art color option. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will be the first Redmi device to have satellite connectivity when it launches in China. Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Pro may have been certified already. It will be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive Redmi Turbo 5. If all of this pans out, then the Poco X8 Pro should be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 SoC, and boast a 6.67-inch OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution. A metal frame and an overall thin and light build will also be in. It's interesting that the K series didn't get a go at it before. It's unclear if this means it's launching early or not. The phone is expected to become official next month. It will slot right in between the 8s and 8 Elite.

Amazon is incredibly selling the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at an unbeatable $500 discount
If you can't afford Samsung's latest (non-foldable) super-flagship even at a towering $300 discount with no special requirements or strings attached of any sort, you might want to consider picking up the company's previous ultra-high-end 6.8-inch handset with a built-in S Pen... as soon as possible. That's because Amazon is currently charging a whopping 500 bucks less than usual for an unlocked Galaxy S24 Ultra in an entry-level 256GB storage configuration and a single "Titanium Gray" color option. Obviously, the early 2024-released Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powerhouse hasn't been worth $1,299.99 in a long time, but despite scoring plenty of hefty discounts over the last year or so, this appears to be a totally unprecedented promotion, at least at this particular retailer. 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 6.8-Inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Titanium Frame, 200 + 50 + 10 + 12MP Quad Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Android 15, Galaxy AI, S Pen Included, Gray Color Buy at Amazon Samsung's stellar long-term software support all but guarantees that time will not leave much of a mark on this bad boy from a general user experience perspective, and unless you like your (super-premium) smartphone exceptionally slim and lightweight, the S25 Ultra may not seem like a major improvement over its predecessor and the same could also be true for next year's Galaxy S26 Ultra. Despite its somewhat advanced age, the S24 Ultra remains hard to beat in terms of build quality and camera performance, basically checking every box to satisfy a power user seeking the ideal value proposition right now.
