dbrand claims that even Samsung’s official magnetic cases can’t reliably hit the full 25W wireless charging speeds on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The case maker brought the issue on Reddit after putting four official Samsung cases through testing with Samsung’s own $75 Magnet Wireless Charger and a 45W travel adapter.

If the claims are true, that’s a bad look for a company that’s selling both the Galaxy S26 cases 25W wireless charging ecosystem and the hardware supposedly designed to deliver it.

The magnets exist, the cases fit, the charger is official, but dbrand says they still haven’t figured out Samsung’s proprietary handshake that unlocks the full 25W charging on this setup.

If dbrand can’t crack it, nobody can.

Samsung’s own cases claim the magnets align the S26 Ultra properly for fast wireless charging, but if dbrand’s correct, this isn’t about whether magnets are installed or not.

It looks like Samsung’s implementation is leaving other accessory makers guessing at the final step needed to achieve full-speed charging.

Some people who actually bought this phone report the complete opposite experience.

One S26 Ultra owner with an ESR-cooled Qi2.2 charger and a dbrand magnetic case says (via piunikaweb) they only get 25W charging if they place the phone on the charger unplugged, then plug it in afterward.

This adds to a growing list of headaches for early S26 Ultra buyers, including reports that some owners tried to return their phones over screen quality, only for Samsung to offer partial refunds to keep them from sending devices back.
