Fresh leaks suggest Samsung is finally getting serious about Qi2 wireless charging, and a newly surfaced accessory could be the clearest sign yet. While recent Galaxy flagships have been described as “Qi2 ready,” they still miss one key feature needed for full Qi2 compatibility: built-in magnets. That magnetic alignment is what makes Qi2 charging more convenient, more reliable, and more consistent—especially for snap-on chargers and battery packs.
Now, a product called the Samsung Magnetic Wireless Powerbank (model EB-U2500) has popped up again ahead of launch, with new details pointing to what buyers can expect. The biggest reveal so far is its reported 5,000 mAh battery capacity. In real-world use, that likely means it won’t fully recharge a next-generation Galaxy S26 from empty, and it will fall even shorter for larger models like a potential Galaxy S26 Plus or Galaxy S26 Ultra. Wireless charging always comes with efficiency losses, so the usable power delivered to a phone is typically less than the headline capacity suggests.
Still, Samsung appears to be positioning the EB-U2500 as a hybrid solution rather than a wireless-only accessory. Alongside 15 W wireless charging, it reportedly includes a single USB-C port capable of charging devices at up to 25 W. That gives users a faster option when they need a quicker top-up, while still offering the convenience of magnetic wireless charging for everyday use.
Pricing is also starting to come into focus. The powerbank is said to be planned for around €59.99 in Europe, which converts to roughly $70. That price is on the premium side for a 5,000 mAh powerbank, so much of its value will come down to how well Samsung integrates the magnetic Qi2 experience—especially if the upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup finally includes the magnets needed to take full advantage of Qi2 accessories.
If this accessory is launching soon, it may be a strong hint that Samsung’s next Galaxy generation is ready to embrace true Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, not just partial support. For anyone interested in cleaner docking, fewer misaligned charging sessions, and a more Apple-like magnetic accessory ecosystem on Android, the EB-U2500 could be an early preview of what’s coming next.
