Tech media sammyguru reported today (December 11) that Samsung has quietly listed a new 60 W power adapter on its official website, with model number EP-T6010 — a move that strongly suggests the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will upgrade from 45 W to 60 W wired charging.

According to Samsung’s official specifications, this new charger features a single USB-C port and supports an output of up to 60 W (20 V/3 A). More importantly, it utilizes the latest USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 with PPS fast-charging protocol, which offers improved compatibility and charging efficiency compared to the older USB PD 3.0 PPS standard used in current Samsung chargers.

🔌 What USB PD 3.1 PPS Means

• Higher power delivery: PD 3.1 introduces the Extended Power Range (EPR) that can theoretically support up to 240 W, enabling more powerful fast-charging options.
• Finer voltage control: With 20 mV steps and support for larger currents (up to 5 A), the protocol helps improve charging speed, efficiency, and safety.
• Greater device compatibility: The updated standard can better accommodate a broader range of devices by adapting voltage and current.

⚡ Recharge Without Special Cables

Unlike some high-wattage chargers that require a dedicated 5 A cable to achieve full output, this new 60 W adapter can dynamically adjust voltage (5 V to 20 V) and reach 60 W even when paired with standard 3 A USB-C cables, making it more convenient for everyday use.

💡 Smart IC and Energy Efficiency

Samsung’s official page also notes that the adapter features Smart IC technology, which minimizes power draw when a device is connected but not charging, thereby reducing idle energy consumption to as little as five mW for improved energy efficiency.

📱 What This Suggests for Galaxy S26 Ultra

Samsung’s current top-end phones have long been capped at 45 W wired charging, and no existing Galaxy smartphone supports 60 W via a single-port adapter. As a result, the appearance of a dedicated 60 W charger just before the S26 series launch is widely interpreted as a hint that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may finally adopt 60 W wired charging — a significant step up in power delivery for Samsung’s flagship lineup.
