Overview
- Tipster claims now say the Galaxy S26 Ultra lacks internal magnets, reinforcing earlier case renders that showed both magnetic and non‑magnetic first‑party options.
- Fresh images of Samsung’s Qi2 magnetic charger leaked, showing a puck-style design and braided cable, with reported support up to 25W for Ultra and 20W for other models.
- If magnets are not inside the phones, users would need magnetic cases to get proper snap-on alignment for chargers, mounts and wallets, reducing the native Qi2 experience.
- Samsung previously cited display and S Pen interference when it omitted magnets in the S25, and listings noting Wireless Power Share on S26 models further fuel doubts about internal magnets.
- Launch timing is still unconfirmed but widely rumored for Feb. 24–25 with sales beginning March 11, leaving official confirmation of the magnet setup for Unpacked.
