Samsung is expected to unveil its new flagship series this month Galaxy S26, consisting of models Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 UltraThere has been a lot of speculation lately about whether its next “flagships” will support full-fledged Qi2 wireless charging, i.e. whether they will have built-in magnets like the iPhones or the new PixelSome of the recent leaks seemed pessimistic, but there was still a certain hope. Unfortunately, that has now been definitively extinguished.
Advice Galaxy S26 will not have built-in magnets
Samsung's next flagships Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra have recently appeared in the organization's database Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) pod model numbers SM-K772, SM-K777 and SM-K778. Samsung apparently used masked model numbers instead of the real ones (according to previous leaks SM-S942B, SM-S947B and SM-S948B), as the phones have not yet been announced.

Additionally, the WPC certification reveals that the phones support the Qi 2.2.1 standard, the same version used in the series. Pixel 10. However, unlike her, they use technical profil Base Power Profile (BPP) instead proMagnetic Power Profile (MPP). This means that they do not have built-in magnets pro attaching accessories such as chargers, power banks or wallets, and will have to rely on cases with integrated magnets. Considering the competition, this is proa wasted opportunity and pro This will be very difficult for many Samsung fans to digest.

Is there good news? Yes, there is!
I must admit that the absence of a magnetic ring on the series bothered me. Galaxy S26 I'm really sorry. The Qi2 standard should be available in 2026.proBut if Samsung deprives us of this feature, I hope it at least doesn't resort to reverse wireless charging.Even if you don't use it every day, it's exactly the feature that will save your life in a crisis situation when you need to "borrow" some power to your watch or headphones at the airport or in a cafe. Pro To me it's one of those subtle luxuries that make Galaxy flagship, and it would be a huge shame if this practical option fell victim to the pursuit of a slimmer body or savings. I've already regretted the magnets, so I'll continue to survive without them, but I definitely don't want to lose this emergency power bank in my pocket.
