    Internal testing has shown that Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new 60W charging can fill the battery from 0% to 75% in 30 minutes, reveals Ice Universe. This was tested under laboratory conditions, whatever those were (presumably controlled room temperature).

    When the Honor Magic8 Lite was announced a month ago, the company said that it will reveal the price in January – well, it’s January now and Honor UK has delivered. The other European branches are oddly silent, though.
