TL;DR
  • A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t have integrated magnets after all.
  • This contradicts previous leaks, which pointed to built-in Qi2 magnets.

We’ve heard rumors for a while now that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series could offer integrated magnets. This would enable support for magnetically attached accessories and Qi2 MPP chargers. Unfortunately, a prominent leaker has some bad news.

Tipster Ice Universe has claimed on Twitter that the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t offer built-in magnets, citing “independent sources.” Instead, you’ll need to buy a magnetic case to make use of magnetically attached peripherals.
