Samsung’s Qi2 Magnet Wireless Battery Pack leaks hint at a fix for a Galaxy charging headache
Samsung appears poised to fully embrace Qi2 on the Galaxy S26 lineup, with a new accessory surfacing on a certification page: the Magnet Wireless Battery Pack. This suggests Samsung will bring Qi2 magnets directly to the phone itself, rather than relying on magnetic cases as with the Galaxy S25.
A quick recap of what’s known so far: the Galaxy S26 series is expected to adopt Qi2 magnets integrated into the device, and to support the faster Qi2.2 standard. Reports indicate the Galaxy S26 Ultra could support 25W wireless charging, while the other models would top out at 20W. A Samsung charging stand compatible with Qi2 25W has also appeared in leaks.
Now, the Wireless Power Consortium’s database reveals another Samsung Qi2 accessory: a battery pack. The device, labeled as the “Magnet Wireless Battery Pack,” looks straightforward at first glance, featuring a magnetic ring and a Qi2 badge on the back. It lists Qi 2.1.0 support with a 15W output, meaning it won’t reach the full 25W speeds that some Qi2 chargers offer, though those peak speeds are typically brief.
What stands out is the design. The battery’s core is a standard rectangular block, but the magnetic portion extends behind it, effectively trimming the “bottom” area of the pack. This adjustment is necessary because Samsung’s phone design places the camera module very close to the wireless charging coil, causing many Qi2 accessories to not sit flush. This is a visible hurdle Samsung must address if Qi2 gains broad adoption. In the meantime, this battery pack represents a practical interim solution. It’s also notable that Samsung’s own magnetic wallets use the same approach.
