Galaxy S27 Ultra: Faster Charging, AI Lens-Flare Fixes

Fresh tips from @WalleGalaxy and @kro_roe suggest Samsung is squeezing more speed from the Galaxy S27 Ultra without raising its advertised wattage. The phone is said to retain the same 60W wired fast-charging seen on the S26 Ultra, but the charging algorithm has been reworked to hold peak power for longer during the early portion of a charge.

Samsung is reportedly stretching the time the handset stays in the 55-56W range, which the tipsters say yields a roughly 2-3% improvement in overall charging time compared with the previous generation. The net effect is a roughly 2-3% improvement in total charging time.

It is a pragmatic move: rather than raising the maximum wattage, Samsung appears to be optimizing how the phone uses the existing power ceiling. That matters more than ever because earlier certification and leak data point to a larger cell, around 5,700 mAh, which would normally take longer to fill.

AI tackles lens flare

The same sources say Samsung is addressing a long-standing complaint about unwanted reflections and artifacts when shooting toward bright lights. Instead of relying primarily on specialty optical coatings such as Zeiss T treatments, the company is reportedly testing AI-based processing that can identify and remove lens flare after capture.

According to the tipsters, early prototype results show the flare is almost completely removed, producing much cleaner images. This software-first fix aligns with the industry shift toward computational photography and could complement other rumored camera tweaks, including stronger highlight control and slightly warmer color tuning.

If these leaks hold, the combination of more efficient power management and AI-driven image cleanup would make the S27 Ultra a noticeably more refined flagship. The Galaxy S27 series is expected to arrive in early 2027.
