Galaxy S26 Ultra Might Skip Qi2, Dashing MagSafe‑Style Hopes

Rumors claim the Galaxy S26 Ultra may omit Qi2 with built-in magnets, weakening the MagSafe‑style Android ecosystem. While magnetic accessories could still work with cases, the lack of embedded magnets means a less seamless experience compared with iPhone and Google’s Pixels, prompting criticism of Samsung’s stagnation as competitors push bigger batteries and notable internal upgrades.
