Samsung has begun to offer its new Magnet Wireless Battery Pack worldwide. Just to remind, the Galaxy S26 series, which includes the Galaxy S26 Ultra, was released without built-in magnets. Nevertheless, the recent flagship models still are compatible with Qi2 wireless charging and can connect to Qi2 accessories when used with magnetic cases, most of which are official.
Design and Compatibility
The Magnet Wireless Battery Pack is specifically made to attach to the back of smartphones that are compatible. So far, it seems to be the only Qi2 power bank that fits well with the Galaxy S26 and S25 devices, including the larger Galaxy S26 Ultra. The bulky vertical camera bump on these smartphones makes it difficult for many third-party Qi2 power banks to sit flush enough to enable wireless charging.
Specifications and Features
In terms of power, it has a capacity of 5,000 mAh, which should provide at least one complete charge for most smartphones. The wireless charging is capped at 15W, even though the Galaxy S26 Ultra can achieve up to 25W with Qi2. For quicker charging options, Samsung has included a USB-C port that can handle up to 25W, and it also features a foldable kickstand for hands-free usage. The dimensions of the power bank are 7.6 x 102.5 x 14.2 mm, and it weighs in at 40g.
Pricing and Availability
Customers can buy the Samsung Magnet Wireless Battery Pack directly from Samsung for $64.99. It is also available at Amazon and Best Buy, although it is currently sold out. In the UK, it’s offered by Samsung UK and Amazon UK at a reduced price of £37.80, down from £54. The package includes a 0.2m USB-C cable.
