- Battery capabilities for the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Age.
- Both phones get a slight upgrade to the current Galaxy S25 and S25 Edge models.
- The leakage charging speed goes out on details, which makes us wonder if it can be upgraded to this front.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be an important milestone in Samsung’s smartphone journey. We recently learned about Tech Dev’s flagship lineup reform plans, in which base and plus models were collectively replaced with the same Galaxy S26 Pro. In addition to Pro, the lineup will include the Galaxy S26 Age and the S26 ultra.
Although a lot about the Galaxy S26 ultra has already been prone to leaks or rumors, information about the other two models is also starting to flow. Earlier today, the Dutch website Galaxy Club The series revealed battery capabilities for Pro and Edge models.
Based on this leak, the Galaxy S26 Pro will have 4,175mAh rated battery, which will be advertised as 4,300mAh. If true, this standard Galaxy S25 will have a slight upgrade to the 4,000 mAh battery shown earlier, which makes the S26 Pro that it will share its dimensions.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Edge may also allegedly get a large battery. Compared to the 3,900mAh battery on the first generation edge, the S26 Edge has 4,078mAh pack, which will be sold as 4,200mAh. However, the report did not disclose the charging speed of both models.
On the contrary, the Galaxy S26 ultra is expected to maintain the same 5,000 MAH battery, though with 60W fast charging capabilities. Although Samsung is still removing Chinese smartphone brands and completely embracing silicon carbon (SI-C) batteries, which allows significantly more capacity, it is bringing two significant changes to cell packaging. These changes will allow batteries to take a slightly lower space – or vice versa, existing batteries have more capacity – and low heat production when charging.
Meanwhile, another reliable Lisar recently indicated that at least one device, namely the Galaxy S26 Edge, can use a “new battery material technology”, though it does not confirm the use of SI-C.
In addition to these upgrades, we can expect all these devices to support Q2 wireless charging standards. However, magnetic accessories are still less likely to magnet inside the body.
