A new listing appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium’s (WPC) website, revealing an upgraded wireless charging protocol for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 trio. The model numbers listed are believed to belong to the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra.
According to the document, the three phones will offer the Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging spec, which will enable 20W charging or faster. That theory aligns with an earlier rumor suggesting that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will come with 25W wireless charging support.
However, that’s only the good news. The bad news is that the handsets comply only with the Base Power Profile (BPP) instead of the MPP (Magnetic Power Profile), which in turn means the devices won’t integrate magnets and can’t be attached to Qi2 accessories with magnets. This can only be done using compatible cases.
It’s a bit of a bummer for people waiting on the Galaxy S26 lineup, as the magnetic wireless charging is becoming a sought-after feature in the premium segment.
