The Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to become the first Samsung phone to support faster than 45W wired charging and the company is laying the groundwork for that with the launch of its new 60W charger.
It’s called simply the Samsung 60W Power Adapter (model number: EP-T6010NBEGWW) and it has appeared on the Samsung.com branches for various countries – all around Europe (e.g. Austria, Sweden, Romania), but also South America (Peru) and parts of the Middle East (Levant).
The charger has one USB-C port and supports Super Fast Charging 2.0. It boasts a low standby power draw of just 5mW. It supports the following standards: USB-PD (5V, 15V, 20V) and PPS (5-20V) at up to 3A. There is no AVS support, however.
The older 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0 adapter (EP-T4511XBEGGB) offered 3A charging at up to 15V and 2.25A at up to 20V, both of which limited it to 45W.
Anyway, Samsung advertises that you can use its new 60W charger for phones, but also for Galaxy tablets and for Galaxy Book laptops. Now, no current Galaxy tablet supports faster than 45W charging – maybe the Tab S12 series will change that. Galaxy Books do feature 65W charging, though.
For safety, the charger supports temperature protection, overcurrent protection and short circuit protection. Also, it is designed for low (electrical) noise operation.
In Europe, the Samsung 60W Power Adapter is priced at €53. It is available only in black.
PS. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will have faster wireless charging too, going up to 25W (up from 15W for the S25 Ultra). The S26 and S26+ are supposed to support 20W wireless charging. The wired charging situation for the vanilla S26 flagship is not rosy, though.
