Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup may at last fix a pain point that has lingered for years: sluggish wireless charging. The current Galaxy S25 family tops out at 15 W, a limit that feels outdated compared to rival flagships from even half a decade ago. But a new leak suggests Samsung is preparing a meaningful upgrade — complete with magnets.
Retail listings and certifications point to a new accessory called the Samsung Magnetic Wireless Charger (model EP-P2900). It reportedly supports up to 25W wireless charging, making it Samsung’s fastest wireless solution for Galaxy phones yet. The magnet-equipped pad hints at full Qi2/MagSafe-style alignment, ensuring the charger snaps neatly into place instead of requiring guesswork.
The product is described in dark gray and is compatible with Galaxy S and Galaxy Z devices, as well as Galaxy Buds. It’s also expected to replace Samsung’s older square charging pad (EP-P2400) with a new circular design that matches the updated coil layout needed for Qi2.
There is a catch, though. The higher speeds may not be available on every model. Rumors say the Galaxy S26 Ultra will get the full 25W wireless charging upgrade, while the S26 and S26 Plus could remain stuck at the current 15W limit — a move that wouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with Samsung’s strict feature segmentation. It’s also unclear whether Samsung has addressed the S Pen interference issues seen on earlier Galaxy flagships when used with magnetic cases.
A similar pattern is expected on the wired charging front:
- Galaxy S26 Ultra: up to 60W (Super Fast Charging 3.0)
- Galaxy S26 Plus: up to 45W
- Galaxy S26: 25W
We’re still months away from official images and exact specs, but the fact that Samsung has a 25W magnetic wireless charger ready to go is a strong hint of change. If the leaks prove accurate, Galaxy fans who’ve been waiting to cut the cable may finally have a reason — provided they spring for the right S26 model.
