New Galaxy S26 Ultra promo leak hints at unchanged battery life and charging speed

Samsung will be fully unveiling the Galaxy S26 series in the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. Just a few days ahead of the launch, a new leak has surfaced, and it highlights that the Galaxy S26 Ultra won't be seeing any major change in terms of battery life and charging speed.

This leak, which shows a couple of official promo pictures, mentions that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can offer up to 31 hours of battery life, which is unchanged from the last-gen flagship phone. This hints that the phone will pack the same 5,000mAh battery, something that the past reports have already suggested.

Another notable aspect mentioned in the leak is the charging speed. It highlights that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can go from 0% to 75% in 30 minutes. This, again, remains unchanged from the predecessor. Of course, rumors are suggesting that the phone will come with 60W fast charging support, up from 45W found in the last-gen flagship phone, but it seems that the faster charging support won't make a huge difference (45W Iniu 10K power bank curr. $19.98 on Amazon).

Other than these two pieces of info, the leaked promo pictures reiterate the leaked camera specs of the phone. It suggests that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature a 12 MP selfie shooter on the front, while the back will feature a 200MP primary, 10MP 3x telephoto, 50MP 5x telephoto, and 50MP ultrawide sensors. The leaked pictures also give another look at the design of the phone alongside the Buds 4, Buds 4 Pro, and the regular S26.

For those who missed the official announcement, Samsung will fully unveil the Galaxy S26 series on February 25, 2026. Currently, the company is taking reservations, which also unlocks a $30 pre-order credit.
