The Galaxy S25 series was “Qi2-ready,” so you will need a magnetic wireless charger to use the phones with Qi2-compatible accessories like batteries and wallets. However, this may not be the case with the upcoming Galaxy S26 series as it is rumored to be fully Qi2 compatible.
All S26 series smartphones should have a built-in magnetic profile (circular) under the back panel, allowing convenient and secure connection with third-party Qi2-compatible accessories.
A 5,000mAh wireless power bank for $70.22 is quite expensive
Now, a new report from German publication WinFuture suggests that Samsung could launch its own “Magnetic Wireless Powerbank EB-U2500” (translated from German) as an official Qi2-based accessory alongside the Galaxy S26 series.
The publication claims to have shared the first official photos of the EB-U2500 wireless battery pack. It is said to have a total capacity of 5,000mAh and deliver 15W of power via Qi2 (slower than the new Qi2.2 standard or MagSafe charging, which both offer 25W of power).
With the included USB-C to USB-C cable, the battery offers 20W of power. It also supports USB Power Delivery (PD) and Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC). This means you can also use the power bank with smartphones that comply with the Qi 2, USB PD or QC standards.
The design of the device appears to have a warm, cream or light gray finish with a textured surface. On the front there is the company logo, a metallic stand and five LED battery indicator lights.
There’s a power button at the bottom of the right frame and a circular magnetic ring on the back that snaps onto the back of the Galaxy S26 handset (or Galaxy S25 with magnetic charging case).
In Germany, Samsung’s new 5,000mAh magnetic wireless power bank could retail for 59.90 euros (about $70.22 at today’s exchange rate), which is relatively high considering the overall capacity.
For reference, the Anker Nano Power Bank (5,000mAh, Qi2 Compatible) is available on Amazon for $54.99. The same company also sells the MagGo 10,000 mAh Qi2 power bank for $79.99.
Aside from the higher retail price, the report somewhat confirms the presence of Qi2 charging technology in the Galaxy S26 series as well as an official accessory to charge their phones on the go.
