Samsung Galaxy S26 Confirmed for 45W Fast Charging

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has appeared on Denmark’s UL Demko certification database, confirming support for 45W fast charging ahead of an expected September launch, while Google app references and Bureau of Indian Standards filings point to an imminent rollout.

Samsung’s Fan Edition lineup is gearing up for its next iteration. While attention remains fixed on unfolding summer device rollouts, hardware databases and internal app strings reveal that groundwork for the Galaxy S26 FE and the next-generation Galaxy Tab S12 series is accelerating. Certification filings across multiple global agencies are sketching a clear picture of what to expect when these devices debut.

UL Demko Certification Confirms 45W Charging Speeds for the Galaxy S26 FE

That data confirms the Galaxy S26 FE supports up to 45W wired fast charging, matching its predecessor and the Galaxy S26+, while landing behind the 60W speed of the Galaxy S26 Ultra and ahead of the base Galaxy S26.

The regulatory listing maps out a broad international release by capturing multiple regional model numbers, including SM-S741W, SM-S741U1, SM-S741U, SM-S741B/DS, SM-S741B, and SM-S741N. Because Indian variants traditionally utilize the B suffix, the appearance of the SM-S741B and the dual-SIM SM-S741B/DS following a Bureau of Indian Standards certification confirms that Samsung intends to bring the smartphone to the Indian market shortly.

Google App Teardowns and FCC Filings Trace the Broader Ecosystem

Regulatory filings are not the only place new hardware is surfacing. References to both the Tab S12 and the S26 FE have appeared in an internal list within the Google app compiled for future devices set to offer a free premium Google AI trial for new owners. Although the code apperance does not establish a precise release day, it signals that product planning is well advanced.

At the same time, tablet developments are moving through the Federal Communications Commission. A device carrying the model number SM-X848U—which reporting ties to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+ intended for the US market—has appeared in the FCC database. That filing verifies support for 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and GNSS connectivity alongside S Pen and microSD card support.

Expected Hardware Upgrades and Market Pressures

Beneath the exterior, leaks indicate that the Galaxy S26 FE will lean on internal upgrades rather than a radical physical redesign. Speculation points to the adoption of the Exynos 2500 chipset paired with a 5,000mAh battery, utilizing a 3nm processor designed to improve thermal efficiency while preserving a flat 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display and a camera configuration featuring a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultrawide shooter. Rumors also suggest potential support for Qi2 wireless charging, utilizing magnetic alignment comparable to MagSafe.

However, pricing pressures loom over the launch. Industry watchers note that ongoing cost increases across memory and storage sectors could force a price hike above the $649.99 baseline established by past iterations in the United States, with similar premium adjustments expected across international markets like India.

Timing and Ecosystem Context

Samsung has historically used September to introduce its Fan Edition smartphones and flagship tablet lines, following the release windows of the Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11 series. While summer hardware showcases take precedence on the immediate calendar, the gathering volume of regulatory certifications and software strings suggests consumers will see official details for both the S26 FE and the Tab S12 family materialize before the end of the third quarter.
