For years, Samsung has maintained a ceiling of 45W for wired fast charging across its top-tier flagship phones. However, anticipation is building that the company will finally make the jump to 60W fast charging with the highly anticipated Galaxy S26 Ultra next year.
Fueling these rumours, a brand-new charger has been silently added to Samsung's own website, strongly suggesting a power upgrade is imminent.
The new device, listed on Samsung’s site, is officially named the 60W Power Adapter and carries the model number EP-T6010. The key technical details confirm a significant step up:
Crucially, the new charger utilizes the USB PD 3.1 PPS (Programmable Power Supply) standard, a newer specification than the USB PD 3.0 PPS used by Samsung’s current 45W chargers. The move to PD 3.1 is necessary to support the higher power delivery necessary for a 60W profile.
Images of the adapter’s packaging also revealed its operational parameters, designed for smart, variable charging:
Significantly, the specifications imply that a standard high-quality USB-C cable will suffice to hit the maximum charging speed, avoiding the need for a proprietary 5A-supported cable typically required for speeds exceeding 60W (like some competitors).
All evidence points toward the Galaxy S26 Ultra being the primary candidate for this new charging standard.
The jump from 45W to 60W is a logical progression for Samsung, aligning the company more closely with competitor charging speeds without adopting the ultra-high (100W+) standards that often introduce trade-offs in battery longevity and heat management.
The appearance of the EP-T6010 on Samsung's official website suggests that manufacturing and certification are already underway, setting the stage for a flagship launch that promises to deliver better battery replenishment times for its users.
