Upgrading from the Samsung Galaxy S25? Will your charger still do?
Almost certainly. The Samsung Galaxy S25 range charges at up to 45W and the Samsung Galaxy S26 range at up to 45W, so a charger that ran your Samsung Galaxy S25 at full speed runs the Samsung Galaxy S26 at full speed too. It's worth replacing only if it's under 45W, or USB-A rather than USB-C.

Samsung Galaxy S26 charger questions
What wattage charger does the Samsung Galaxy S26 need?
The Samsung Galaxy S26 takes up to 25W and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra takes up to 45W. A USB-C Power Delivery charger of 45W or more charges all of them at full speed.
How long does the Samsung Galaxy S26 take to charge?
With the SMARTGEAR 45W USB-C Super Fast Charger 3 Port GaN Wall Charger, the Samsung Galaxy S26 charges from empty to full in about 56 minutes and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in about 48. Phones and tablets slow down near the top to protect the battery, so the first half is much quicker than the last.
