WPC Listing Confirms Galaxy S26 Phones Use Qi 2.2.1 Without Built-In Magnets

Overview

• Wireless Power Consortium entries for SM-K772, SM-K777 and SM-K778 show Qi 2.2.1 support using the Base Power Profile rather than the Magnetic Power Profile.
• The absence of internal magnets means Qi2 chargers, power banks and wallets will rely on magnetized cases for proper alignment and attachment.
• Reporting indicates faster wireless charging is planned, at about 20W for the Galaxy S26 and S26+ and up to 25W for the S26 Ultra.
• SamMobile published the first images of a Samsung Qi2.2 charging puck with a braided cable that could launch later this month.
• Compared with recent Samsung flagships limited to Qi 2.1.0 and 15W, the new certification signals a step up, with full details expected at a late-February Unpacked and retail availability in early March.
