Samsung Galaxy S26 Series to Deliver Faster 65W Charging and a Bigger Battery

The rapid advancement of battery sizes is making faster charging speeds a critical necessity for the future. Companies like Samsung may soon need to meet public demands for quicker charging. According to rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series might feature faster charging than the Galaxy S25’s 45W input.

Silicon Carbon (Si/C) anode batteries, a relatively new technology in smartphones, are quickly becoming standard in premium devices. Leaker @kro_roe on X claims the Galaxy S26 series will transition from traditional Li-ion batteries, which are becoming outdated, to Si/C batteries.

Si/C batteries offer higher energy density, which explains why some Chinese phones now boast capacities as high as 6500mAh or even 7000mAh, without increasing their thickness. To stay competitive, Samsung’s adoption of Silicon Carbon anode batteries is a strategic move.

The Galaxy S26 series is expected to outshine the S25 with a larger battery. However, the existing 45W charging speed could be a bottleneck. Given the varying price points of Samsung smartphones, introducing 65W fast charging could significantly enhance value. The leaker suggests that 65W fast charging is a potential feature for the Galaxy S26 lineup, a long-awaited upgrade.

While 65W may not match the 100W+ charging speeds offered by brands like Vivo, Oppo, or Xiaomi, it would still benefit consumers, especially since Samsung dominates the Android smartphone market. The coming months will reveal more details about this development. Meanwhile, excitement is building for the Galaxy S25 series, set to debut tomorrow at Galaxy Unpacked on January 22nd. Stay tuned!
