Samsung will launch a 25W Qi2 wireless charger for the Galaxy S26 series
Samsung will launch a new 25W Qi2 wireless charger for its upcoming Galaxy S26 series, bringing a highly requested feature to its flagship phones. After introducing Qi2 Ready support to its high-end models this year, the South Korean company is now reportedly offering full Qi2 wireless charging compatibility with the Galaxy S26 lineup. Alongside this, Samsung is expected to release its own first-party Qi2 charger designed specifically for these new devices.
The Galaxy S26 series is said to include built-in magnets on all three models to enable full Qi2 wireless charging support. According to reports from WinFuture, Samsung has developed a new wireless charger capable of delivering up to 25W fast wireless charging. This charger likely uses the Qi2.2 standard and is named the Samsung Magnetic Wireless Charger, with the model number EP-P2900.
Details on the Samsung 25W Qi2 wireless charger for Galaxy S26
It remains unclear whether this new Samsung Magnetic Wireless Charger will be a charging pad or a charging stand. However, it is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series early next year. Information from retailer databases suggests the charger will come in a dark gray color and will support charging for Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series phones, as well as Galaxy Buds. If it is a charging pad, it should be compatible with all devices that support wireless charging.
The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ models are rumored to support up to 20W fast wireless charging. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to offer up to 25W fast wireless charging, matching the wireless charging speeds of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.
In terms of wired charging, the Galaxy S26 supports 25W fast wired charging, while the Galaxy S26+ is rumored to support up to 45W wired charging. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to top out at 60W fast wired charging.
Implications of Samsung’s new Qi2 wireless charger launch
Earlier this year, Samsung released a certified third-party 3-in-1 Qi2 charger that supports up to 15W wireless charging. This charger can also wirelessly charge a Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds simultaneously. It would be beneficial if Samsung were to launch a similar 3-in-1 Qi2 charger but with support for up to 25W charging to fully accommodate the Galaxy S26 series and other Qi2-compatible devices.
Beyond faster wireless charging speeds, full Qi2.2 compatibility is expected to bring support for various Qi2 magnetic accessories to the Galaxy S26 series. These accessories include car mounts, charging stands, charging pucks, pop sockets, power banks, SSDs, and wallets. This expanded compatibility will enhance the overall wireless charging experience for Galaxy S26 users.
In summary, Samsung will launch a 25W Qi2 wireless charger alongside the Galaxy S26 series, marking a significant step forward in wireless charging technology for its flagship smartphones. This new charger and the full Qi2 support will provide faster, more versatile wireless charging options for Galaxy S26 owners and users of other Qi2-compatible devices.
