Finally! The Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a long-overdue charging speed upgrade
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak suggests the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might support faster-than-45W charging, making it the fastest charging Samsung smartphone ever. Samsung flagships have maxed out at 45W USB PD PPS since 2019, while rivals have progressed to significantly quicker charging speeds but often with proprietary solutions. Samsung hasn't officially confirmed any specifications for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung is basking in the glory of higher demand for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 lineup, but the company is also preparing for its next flagship, the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to be released in early 2026. We've heard a fair few leaks about the lineup already, with most of them pointing towards a modest upgrade as is tradition for Samsung. However, the latest leak suggests faster charging could finally (finalllllyyy!) be coming to the Galaxy S flagship lineup, and I am very excited for this to pan out. As per a leak from Universe Ice on X, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could finally get more than 45W fast charging, high enough to claim that it would be the fastest charging speed in Samsung's history. Although the leaker says it is '100% confirmed,' it is not. Samsung hasn't confirmed this spec upgrade, and the company usually doesn't discuss its upcoming flagship phones this early. So this is still a leak for all purposes, and you should still take it with a pinch of salt. The leaker has previously indicated that faster charging is coming to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and now we get a slightly better idea of what could be in store. Samsung currently offers 45W 'Super Fast Charging 2.0' on several flagships, but this charging protocol has existed since the Galaxy Note 10 Plus launched in 2019. Samsung hasn't explored charging faster than this protocol, while Chinese smartphone OEMs have gone as high as 240W, though most have settled on 65W-120W (often proprietary) charging for their mainstream devices. Samsung's 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 requires a 45W USB PD PPS charger and a 5A USB cable to work on compatible phones. It would be amazing if the Galaxy S26 Ultra got 65W USB PD PPS charging, as that would be the perfect sweet spot for broad compatibility and fast charging for its purported 5,000mAh battery. However, the company could opt for proprietary charging, which would be a big disappointment as Samsung phones usually don't ship with a charger, and you'd have to buy a new one separately to make the most of your expensive phone. We'll have to wait and see how the Galaxy S26 Ultra's fast charging situation develops. Nevertheless, I am excited to finally get faster charging on Samsung's premier flagship. Got a tip? Talk to us!

A $2,000 Foldable iPhone Can Take the Heat Off Tim Cook
Picture the life of Samsung hardware engineers: Day after day, they toil at the cutting edge, devising almost inconceivable ways to defy physics. Components are shrunken, twisted, bent against their will. And then their work is unveiled to the world: the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, an unfathomably thin folding smartphone. The company eagerly awaits the reaction of American smartphone buyers. 'Meh,' they say. Harsh? Maybe. But the sales won't lie. At this point, I don't know what it would take for Samsung Electronics Co. to engineer its way to a bigger slice of the US market, where Apple Inc. has a 56% share compared with Samsung's 25%. The consumer lock-in of iOS and the Apple product range is just too great. People love their iPhones.

JP Morgan achieved the highest rank for deal value, having advised on six transactions totalling $42.3bn in H1 2025. GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose stated: 'For JP Morgan, there was an improvement in the total volume and value of deals advised by it in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024. However, the improvement was very prominent in terms of value, as all six deals advised by it during H1 2025 were billion-dollar deals. 'Among these deals, JP Morgan's involvement in the $23.7bn deal for acquisition of Walgreens Boots Alliance by Sycamore Partners was pivotal for it in securing the top spot by value.' Goldman Sachs followed JP Morgan in terms of deal value, advising on transactions worth a total of $30bn. Citi followed closely at $29.2bn, while UBS and Wells Fargo advised on deals valued at $28bn and $26.3bn, respectively. In terms of deal volume, UBS secured second position with six deals. Bank of America, Rothschild & Co and Ernst & Young each advised on four deals, securing their positions among the top financial advisers for retail sector M&A in H1 2025. GlobalData's league tables are based on the real-time tracking of thousands of company websites, advisory company websites and other reliable sources available on the secondary domain. A dedicated team of analysts monitors all these sources to gather in-depth details for each deal, including adviser names. To ensure further robustness to the data, the company also seeks submissions of deals from leading advisers.
