Samsung might be gearing up for a magnetic charging revolution with its upcoming Galaxy S26 series. A new magnetic wireless power bank, model EB-U2500, has just appeared in the Wireless Power Consortium database, sporting a Qi2 certification and the familiar circular magnet ring on its back.
This marks Samsung’s first-ever power bank designed to magnetically snap onto a phone, signaling a major shift towards embracing magnetic wireless charging technology.
What We Know About the Battery Pack
The Samsung Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack features a clean light-gray design and supports up to 15W wireless output. While 15W isn’t blazing fast, it aligns perfectly with the current Qi2 ecosystem standards.
Rumors indicate that the Galaxy S26 Ultra might support faster 25W wireless charging, which could make this power bank less appealing to Ultra users. However, the standard Galaxy S26 and S26+ models would benefit greatly from this accessory’s 15W wireless charging capability.
Samsung’s Magnetic Charging Journey
Currently, Samsung phones lack built-in magnets for magnetic charging. Galaxy S25 users who want magnetic charging must rely on cases with glued-in magnets. This contrasts with Google’s Pixel 10 lineup, which already includes built-in magnets as a standard feature.
Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed adding internal magnet rings yet, but the evidence is mounting. A magnetic 25W wireless charger recently leaked in retail listings, and now this magnetic battery pack has surfaced. These accessories seem to be setting the stage for a bigger reveal.
Timing and What It Means
With the Galaxy S26 launch only months away, the timing of this certification is hard to ignore. If Samsung is indeed integrating internal magnets into its next flagship phones, the EB-U2500 battery pack is clearly designed to be ready from day one.
This move would finally align Samsung with the growing Qi2 accessory ecosystem, eliminating the need for special cases to enable magnetic wireless charging.
After watching competitors like Google advance magnetic charging, Samsung appears poised to join the magnetic wireless charging game in a big way.
