Samsung is upgrading the Galaxy S26 series wireless charging, but skimps on the magnets again | Infinium-tech
A new listing has appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) website, revealing an advanced wireless charging protocol for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 trio. The model numbers listed are believed to be of the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.
According to the document, all three phones will offer Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging spec, which will enable 20W or faster charging. This theory matches up with an earlier rumor that said the Galaxy S26 Ultra will come with 25W wireless charging support.
However, this is only good news. The bad news is that the handsets are only Base Power Profile (BPP) compliant rather than MPP (Magnetic Power Profile), which means the devices won’t integrate magnets and can’t be connected to Qi2 accessories with magnets. This can only be done using compatible cases.
This is a bit of a bummer for those waiting for the Galaxy S26 lineup, as magnetic wireless charging is becoming a popular feature in the premium segment.
