Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to Skip Built-in Magnets, Relies on Cases for Magnetic Charging, Reports Say

According to a post from the well-known leaker @UniverseIce, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will not feature an integrated magnetic structure within its body. This suggests that users will need to rely on magnetic cases to use MagSafe-style accessories and charging.

This information aligns with previous reports from other outlets. The reasoning behind this speculation is based on leaked renders of official cases for the Galaxy S26 series. Observers have pointed out that if Samsung were to include built-in magnets in the phones, the company would likely not produce official cases without magnets. A standard, non-magnetic case would weaken the phone's internal magnetic pull, preventing accessories like stands, wallets, and chargers from attaching securely.

Furthermore, several magnetic wireless chargers designed for the Galaxy S26 series have already been spotted. These leaks suggest that the new phone lineup will support the Qi2 wireless charging standard at speeds of up to 25W, a feature that will be enabled through the use of these specialized magnetic cases.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to be officially unveiled at a Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25th. Based on current information, it appears that while the new devices will support a robust magnetic accessory ecosystem, this functionality will be dependent on an external case rather than being an integrated feature of the phone itself.
