Images have emerged showcasing Samsung's upcoming Qi2 magnetic wireless charger. The puck-shaped charger, connected via a braided USB-C cable, is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 series. It will likely only be available in black. This follows a trend of phone manufacturers adopting the Qi2 standard for improved wireless charging, offering faster speeds and better alignment.

This new charger is designed to be compatible with older Galaxy S25 phones, MagSafe-compatible iPhones, and other Qi2 Android devices. However, the report indicates that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may not include built-in magnets. This suggests users will need Qi2-ready cases with Magnetic Power Profile alignment to utilize the charger's magnetic capabilities.

To achieve the advertised 25W peak charging speeds, users will need a compatible power adapter, like Samsung's 45W adapter or a higher-powered model. The transition to Qi2 aims to standardize and improve wireless charging experiences across different devices. This new charger will compete with Apple's MagSafe charging ecosystem.

What remains to be seen is the pricing and exact launch date of this new Samsung accessory. The industry is moving towards more integrated and efficient wireless charging solutions. As more devices adopt the Qi2 standard, we can expect greater compatibility and faster charging speeds for consumers.
