Galaxy S26 Series Revealed: Enhanced Wireless Charging, No Qi2 Magnets
The Galaxy S26 series is set to launch with notable changes in wireless charging capabilities. Although initial expectations indicated that the flagship phones would feature built-in Qi2 magnets, Samsung has shifted its approach. The devices will now depend on magnetic support through external cases.
New Wireless Charging Specification
Despite the absence of native magnets, Samsung plans an upgrade in wireless charging specifications. Recent information from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) reveals that the Galaxy S26 series will support the Qi 2.2.1 standard. This updated spec indicates potential enhancements in charging speeds.
Key Specifications
- Model Numbers: Possibly include SM-K772, SM-K777, and SM-K778.
- Charging Speed: Currently noted at 5W, yet expected to reach 20-25W.
- Comparison: Qi 2.2.1 is used by other flagship devices like the Pixel 10 Pro XL and recent iPhones.
Implications of Missing Magnets
The decision to forgo integrated magnets raises questions. First-party accessories that rely on magnetic support may be impacted. Moreover, the lack of an “MPP” indicator on the power profile seems to confirm that the S26 models will not include built-in magnets.
Launch Date
Samsung is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy S26 series on February 25. With just weeks to go, details about the charging capabilities and overall device specifications will soon be clarified.
