A brand new itemizing appeared on the Wi-fi Energy Consortium’s (WPC) web site, revealing an upgraded wi-fi charging protocol for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 trio. The mannequin numbers listed are believed to belong to the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Extremely.
Based on the doc, the three telephones will supply the Qi 2.2.1 wi-fi charging spec, which is able to allow 20W charging or sooner. That idea aligns with an earlier rumor suggesting that the Galaxy S26 Extremely will include 25W wi-fi charging help.
Nonetheless, that is solely the excellent news. The dangerous information is that the handsets comply solely with the Base Energy Profile (BPP) as a substitute of the MPP (Magnetic Energy Profile), which in flip means the units will not combine magnets and cannot be hooked up to Qi2 equipment with magnets. This could solely be carried out utilizing appropriate instances.
It’s kind of of a bummer for folks ready on the Galaxy S26 lineup, because the magnetic wi-fi charging is changing into a sought-after function within the premium phase.
