Sluggish wireless charging may finally be addressed in Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S26 lineup. Compared to rival flagships from even half a decade ago, the current Galaxy S25 family’s maximum power consumption is 15 W.
However, a new leak suggests that Samsung is working on a significant upgrade that includes magnets.
According to retail listings and certifications, the Samsung Magnetic Wireless Charger (model EP-P2900) is a brand-new accessory.
It is said to support wireless charging of up to 25W, making it Samsung’s quickest wireless solution for Galaxy phones to date. The magnet-equipped pad indicates full Qi2/MagSafe alignment, ensuring that the charger does not need to be guessed at to fit in place.
Dark gray is used to describe the product, which is compatible with Galaxy S, Galaxy Z, and Galaxy Buds. Additionally, it is anticipated that it will replace Samsung’s previous square charging pad (EP-P2400) with a new circular design that is compatible with the Qi2-specific updated coil layout.
However, there is a catch. There is a possibility that not all models offer the higher speeds. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to receive the full 25W wireless charging upgrade.
but the S26 and S26 Plus may remain at the 15W limit, which would come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with Samsung’s strict feature segmentation.
Additionally, it’s not clear if Samsung has addressed the S Pen interference issues that were observed on previous Galaxy flagships when they were 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
Although official images and specifications are still months away, Samsung’s availability of a 25W magnetic wireless charger is a strong indication of change.
If the rumors are true, Galaxy fans who have been delaying their departure may now have a reason to do so—provided they purchase the appropriate S26 model.
