Samsung Galaxy S26 leak just smashed your built-in Qi2 magnet dreams to pieces

SmartPrix renders of the galaxy s26 phones.

Last year saw Samsung release the Galaxy S25 with what amounts to a stripped-down version of Qi2 wireless charging. The phones had all the advantages of the new tech, but lacked the built-in magnetic ring that makes it more versatile. There had been hopes that the Galaxy S26 series would fix this error, but the latest leak suggests this may not be the case after all.

A leak at Dutch site Nieuwemobiel has information about various Galaxy S26 accessories, including the likes of the S Pen, screen protectors and cases. Crucially, a number of those cases appear to feature a built-in magnetic ring, while others do not.
