- Samsung will reportedly promote magnetic circumstances for the Galaxy S25 collection
- These might will let you connect different magnetic equipment to the telephones
- It’s unclear whether or not these could be used with or as an alternative of Qi2
One clear benefit the iPhone 16 and different iPhones have over Samsung’s units is their MagSafe system, which lets you magnetically connect wi-fi chargers, tripods, and different equipment to the again of them. But this can be a function that Samsung is perhaps trying to match with the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection.
According to leaker Roland Quandt (writing for WinFuture), Samsung is making a spread of covers – together with clear covers and what’s being known as a “card cowl” – with built-in magnets.
According to Quandt’s sources, these magnets will will let you magnetically connect different equipment to the telephone. So, in different phrases, the case would possibly connect like every regular smartphone case, however its built-in magnet might will let you connect further magnetic equipment to the case.
This, then, might permit Samsung to considerably replicate the MagSafe system with out having any MagSafe-like tech constructed into the telephone itself.
The Qi2 query
This leak is all properly and good, however just lately we heard that the Samsung Galaxy S25 line would possibly assist the Qi2 magnetic wi-fi charging commonplace. This ought to imply that you simply would not want one in all these circumstances to connect magnetic equipment to the telephone, because the magnets would already be constructed into the handset.
So, what’s occurring right here? It’s attainable that each leaks are proper, and that Samsung’s circumstances include further magnets so you may securely connect equipment even with a case on the telephone.
Or perhaps the claims of Qi2 had been flawed and Samsung’s MagSafe various will probably be powered purely by these circumstances. Quandt, for his half, stated on Bluesky that he hasn’t seen any proof of Qi2, however that he additionally wouldn’t be shocked if the usual was supported.
One approach or one other, although, it’s trying very possible that you simply’ll be capable of use magnetic equipment with the Samsung Galaxy S25 and its siblings.
In different Galaxy S25 information, Quandt has additionally shared photos of some Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models.

These photos present the telephone from all angles in each black and white shades, however they don’t actually present us a lot that we haven’t seen earlier than. As famous by Quandt, additionally they appear to lack the periscope digital camera we’re anticipating the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to return outfitted with – the gadget in query has the proper variety of cameras, however not one of the lenses are the sq. form we’d count on from a periscope.
As such, it’s attainable that different particulars are flawed too, however these dummy models appear to in any other case line up with different leaked photos, which present an S25 Ultra with barely extra rounded corners than the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra however an in any other case comparable design.
We’re anticipating the Samsung Galaxy S25 collection to launch in January, with leaks pointing to January 22, so we must always get an official have a look at the design – and any MagSafe-like equipment – earlier than lengthy.
