Samsung plans to maintain the 5,000mAh battery capacity for its upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone. The company will increase charging speeds from the current 45W standard to 60W capability. Leaked code from developer Erencan Yılmaz confirms this charging upgrade through visible references to the higher wattage specification. Samsung intends to achieve better battery performance through hardware efficiency improvements and software optimization rather than capacity increases.
The manufacturer has investigated silicon-carbon battery technology but has not implemented this advancement yet. Samsung previously used agentic artificial intelligence on the Galaxy S25 Edge to enhance power efficiency. The company may apply similar techniques to the Galaxy S26 Ultra model. Chinese smartphone manufacturers already utilize silicon-carbon technology in their devices. Samsung faces competitive pressure to adopt advanced battery solutions while currently depending on software enhancements for improved runtime performance.
