• 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 has been a hot-button topic this month. An initial leak that the Galaxy S25 handsets will feature Qi 2 charging was tempered by a second leak 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 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.
