Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra: (Slightly) faster charging and potentially fewer camera artifacts

The 60-watt fast charging on the Galaxy S26 Ultra has delivered less of an improvement in practice than many expected compared with the 45 Watt charging speed that Samsung devices were limited to for years, particularly since the maximum wattage is only briefly reached during charging. This is apparently where the successor could offer improvements, according to a recent report from @WalleGalaxy. The short phase during which the Galaxy S27 Ultra will actually charge at 55 to 56 watts will reportedly be extended, improving overall charging speed by 2 to 3 percent, while battery capacity will also increase this time around. According to the leaker, this information comes from internal tests and should therefore be taken with a grain of salt. Only independent tests will show whether these claims were realistic. According to the leaker the Galaxy S27 Ultra charging currently tops out at 58 watts.

Meanwhile, another leaker reports further improvements to the camera software, although we are somewhat sceptical of the leaker who goes by the name @kro_roe on X. Until these claims are also corroborated by other leakers such as Ice Universe, they should be treated with extra caution. If the claims are accurate, Samsung will apparently also get a better handle on common camera artifacts such as lens flares with the Galaxy S27 generation, but in a different way than most of its competitors. While Sony and Vivo, for example, use Zeiss's T* coating, which has proven very reliable at suppressing unwanted optical artifacts, Samsung apparently wants to tackle the problem with artificial intelligence. According to the leaker, this works very well, but whether independent testers will reach the same conclusion also remains to be seen.
