Samsung Galaxy S26 series is widely expected to bring Qi2 wireless charging upgrade. Samsung also has a new Magnet Charger with Qi2 support, which could launch this month, but a new leak signals troubling info for fans.

Recently, NewMobile leaked images of the S26 Ultra’s S Pen along with official cases and screen protectors. The leaks indicate that the transparent cases may or may not have a magnetic ring for wireless charging.

This revelation suggests that the Galaxy S26 series may not have Qi2 magnets inside. If true, it’s a massive letdown after a long streak of leaks of arrival. Fans would have to rely on official cases to support Qi2 wireless charging.

Case with magnets is to support Qi2 charging, while the regular transparent case that lack magnetic field on the back is the point. If there’s a case exist without magnets, it’s simply telling us that there is no native Qi2 magnet inside.

In the past, we’ve seen leaks of upgraded wireless charging standards and Qi2-compatible power banks. The recently leaked Magnet Charger also signaled the upgraded charging standard, but that’s not going to happen.

Meanwhile, it’s said that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may charge at up to 25W wirelessly. Samsung could be bringing 15W or 20W charging to the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus.

Galaxy S25 series and later flagships are already Qi2 charging-ready. Buy a Qi2-compatible case, and your phone will begin supporting Qi2 charging. The same could have to be done with the new Samsung Galaxy flagships.
