Samsung didn’t put Qi2 magnets in their S26 lineup, and the phones’ design is probably why.

iPhone and Google Pixel are the only mainstream phones with magnetic Qi2 systems in place, and I think Samsung skipped it because their vertical camera setup makes it impossible to have a magnetic system that doesn’t interfere with squared off MagSafe accessories like wallets, battery banks, etc.

They’ve made cases as a consolation, but it’s still only useful for circular accessories. Take a look for yourself (phones not to scale).

Expect a plateau design in the future?
