Leak suggests the Galaxy S25 series will support Qi 2 wireless charging but won’t have built-in magnets for automatic alignment.
The claim appears to support a previous leak that suggested Samsung will sell Magnet Cases separately.
If true, the approach to Qi 2 charging would align with some other Android brands.
The wireless charging capability of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s25-3437280/) has been a hot-button topic this month. An initial leak (https://x.com/Jukanlosreve/status/1866139989215760439) that the Galaxy S25 handsets will feature Qi 2 charging (https://www.androidauthority.com/qi2-wireless-charging-3265223/) was tempered by a second leak (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s25-qi-2-magnetic-case-3508546/) that Samsung will offer a Magnet Case, suggesting the devices won’t include magnets. Now, a further leak appears to support both claims.
Online tipster yawn*advised on X (https://x.com/chunvn8888/status/1868996832376099265?s=46) that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series will support the Qi2 wireless charging standard, offering faster charging speeds of up to 25W. However, the phones won’t feature built-in magnets for automatic alignment — a key feature of the overall Qi 2 experience offered by the likes of Apple’s MagSafe.
