2. 🧪 S25 Ultra vs S26 Ultra Charging Speed Comparison Test
· We started a charging test with the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra simultaneously from 0% battery.
· Both devices started from a completely discharged state, and a tester displaying input voltage, current, and power was connected.
· We used two identical 100W output power banks supporting Galaxy Super Fast Charging 3.0 to charge both devices simultaneously.
· The test environment was set to airplane mode, Wi-Fi connected, automatic screen brightness, and the battery page displayed.
· To prevent the screen from interfering with charging, night mode was enabled to display a black screen.
· The S25 Ultra showed Super Fast Charging 2.0, and the S26 Ultra showed Super Fast Charging 3.0.

4. 💡 Analysis of S26 Ultra's New Charging Method
· Looking at the charging power graph, the S25 Ultra showed higher power initially, but an unstable decline was observed in the middle.
· The overall pattern of charging power change was similar for both devices.
· Analysis of the current and voltage graphs revealed that the S26 Ultra exhibited characteristics of relatively higher charging voltage and lower charging current.
· This method is analyzed as a new charging approach that reduces power loss and suppresses heat generation while delivering higher energy to the battery.
· In conclusion, the wired charging speed of the S26 Ultra can be evaluated as significantly faster.
· However, actual charging speeds may vary depending on device condition, charger and cable type, ambient temperature, and other factors.
