Galaxy S27 Pro Could Get 60W Charging Alongside the S27 Ultra

Samsung appears to be keeping a close eye on charging speeds for its next flagship lineup. The upcoming Galaxy S27 family is expected to include four models: the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra. While many of the phones' specifications have already surfaced through leaks, new certification information has now shed light on the wired charging capabilities of the Pro model.

The latest details suggest that Samsung could give both the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra 60W wired charging, while the standard S27 and S27+ will settle for slower speeds.

Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra Could Support 60W Charging

All four Galaxy S27 models have reportedly appeared in China's Compulsory Certification database, with the certification information revealing the charging capabilities of the upcoming phones.

According to the listing, the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra can support 60W wired charging at 20V and 3A. That would put both models on the same charging level as the current Galaxy S26 Ultra rather than giving the newer generation a major speed increase.

It may not sound like a dramatic upgrade, but 60W charging should still provide a relatively quick top-up when the battery is running low. More importantly, Samsung appears to be bringing the same charging capability to the Pro model rather than reserving it exclusively for its most expensive Ultra phone.

Galaxy S27 and S27+ Charging Speeds

The rest of the lineup appears to follow a familiar hierarchy. Earlier certification details reportedly indicated that the Galaxy S27 will support 25W wired charging, while the Galaxy S27+ could reach 45W.

That creates a clear separation between the four models. Buyers choosing the S27 Pro or Ultra would get the fastest wired charging available in the lineup, while the less expensive models would retain more conservative charging speeds.

Samsung has historically been cautious about increasing charging power on its flagship phones, so even maintaining 60W across two high-end models could be viewed as part of a gradual approach rather than a major charging revolution.

Larger Batteries Could Make the Upgrade More Interesting

Charging speed is only part of the equation. Previous reports suggest that the Galaxy S27 Pro could feature a 5,200mAh battery, while the Galaxy S27 Ultra may include a larger 5,800mAh cell.

Both phones are also rumored to use silicon-carbon battery technology. Samsung recently introduced this battery technology with the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8, and bringing it to the S27 series could allow the company to offer greater capacity without making the phones significantly thicker.

If those reports prove accurate, the combination of larger batteries and 60W charging could make the Pro and Ultra particularly appealing to heavy users.

Galaxy S27 Pro Could Be Nearly as Powerful as the Ultra

The charging information is even more interesting when viewed alongside the rumored specifications of the two premium models. The Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display, while the S27 Ultra could have a larger 6.9-inch panel.

Both phones are also rumored to use a 200MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a 50MP telephoto camera. Under the hood, they could share Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processors, along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in their base configurations.

That means the Pro could offer much of the Ultra experience without carrying every feature reserved for Samsung's top model.

The Ultra Still Has a Few Advantages

Despite the similarities, the Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to remain the more feature-packed option. Its larger display and 5,800mAh battery give it an edge for users who want maximum screen space and endurance.

The Ultra is also expected to retain support for Samsung's S Pen, giving it an advantage for note-taking, drawing and other productivity-focused tasks. Both premium models are reportedly expected to include 25W wireless charging, stereo speakers and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The S27 Pro, meanwhile, could sit in an interesting middle position, offering many of the Ultra's core specifications while potentially coming in a smaller and more manageable package.

Moving to a New Galaxy Could Be Easier With the Right Tools

A new flagship phone is exciting, but upgrading also means moving years of photos, videos, contacts and other files from an old device. That can turn a simple upgrade into a surprisingly time-consuming process.

A simple transfer solution can make that transition easier by helping you move the information you actually need instead of manually copying files one by one. Tools such as Smart Transfer can also be useful for Android file transfer, particularly when you're moving content between Android devices and want a more straightforward way to handle your personal files.

For smaller groups of files, an app share feature can also be useful when you simply need to send something from one device to another. These tools do not change what the Galaxy S27 series can do, but they can make the less exciting part of upgrading much easier.

What to Expect From the Galaxy S27 Series

Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy S27 lineup early next year, although the company has not officially confirmed the complete specifications.

For now, the certification information points toward a four-phone lineup with 25W charging on the standard S27, 45W on the S27+ and 60W on both the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra. The Pro and Ultra could also benefit from larger silicon-carbon batteries and a similar collection of high-end hardware.

If the leaks are accurate, Samsung may not be dramatically increasing charging speeds across the board, but it does appear to be making the faster charging option available to more premium models. The Galaxy S27 Pro could ultimately be the most interesting result of that strategy, especially if it delivers much of the Ultra's hardware in a slightly smaller package.
