Samsung Galaxy S26 FE Certified for 45W Charging Ahead of Expected Launch

Overview

• A UL Demko certification listing registers multiple Galaxy S26 FE model numbers and specifies charging profiles of 15.0V/3.0A and 10.0V/4.5A, which confirm support for 45W wired fast charging.
• Public Geekbench entries for the SM-S741U variant report Android 17, 8GB of RAM and a 10-core Exynos 2500 processor with single-core and multi-core scores of about 2,426 and 8,004 respectively.
• The 45W rating would match last year’s S25 FE and exceed the base Galaxy S26’s 25W cap, giving the FE a practical charging advantage over Samsung’s standard flagship model.
• Samsung has not announced the S26 FE yet and reports expect a launch in Samsung’s usual September window, but analysts warn ongoing global memory chip shortages could push retail prices higher and affect availability.
• The Fan Edition line targets a lower-cost 'flagship-lite' balance, so faster wired charging plus multiple regional model variants suggest Samsung aims to preserve core flagship features while managing costs and supply constraints.
