Galaxy S26: Samsung Boosts Flagship Charging Speed, Europe to Get 2nm Chip

As anticipation builds for the upcoming Galaxy S26, leaks surrounding the flagship smartphone have surged. The Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco is set for January 14, 2026, slightly later than usual.

Speed Updates for Galaxy S26 Models

According to reliable leaker Ahmed Qwaider, the Galaxy S26 series will feature enhanced charging capabilities. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will lead the pack with a maximum charging speed of 60 watts. Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy S26 will see an upgrade from its current 25-watt limit to 45 watts, matching the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Chipset Insights for Europe

In terms of processing power, details suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Conversely, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ are likely to be equipped with the Exynos 2600 chipset. This will mark the debut of the world’s first 2nm processor, ahead of competitors like Apple, Qualcomm, and Mediatek.

Performance Validation

While the transition to the Exynos 2600 for the Galaxy S26 in Europe isn’t fully confirmed, recent Geekbench GPU scores lend credibility to this claim. These leaks hint at a significant leap in performance and energy efficiency for the upcoming series.
