Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra ships with a 3A cable despite the upgraded 60W charging. Samsung is offering the new 60W adapter at a discounted price, but consumers are worried if they will need to purchase a 5A cable.

Worth knowing before you pre-order.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra never draws more than 3 A during charging, so you don’t need 5A cables, as many assumed would be mandatory when Samsung announced 60W charging.

You can use the Galaxy S26 Ultra 60W 3A setup with a PD 3.1 charging adapter, which supports PPS. That’s a pleasant change from the Chinese flagships that lock you into one specific brick and cable combo.

Thanks to the faster charging, the Galaxy S26 Ultra topups its 5000mAh battery from 0 percent to 75 percent in merely 30 minutes. The new 60W is a 33% jump over the 45W ceiling Samsung has been stuck to since forever.

Samsung’s spec sheet confirms what the measurements show. The official 60W adapter they’re selling uses a standard 3A cable, the same one bundled with the phone.

The bump from 45W to 60W is branded as Super Fast Charging 3.0, but it still uses open standards. The Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship’s 60W 3A cable situation is simpler than anyone expected, and that deserves credit.

People spent months speculating that 60W would require a cable upgrade, that Samsung would force you into buying new accessories. Nope.
