A new leak showcases Samsung’s upcoming 25W wireless charger, confirming significant charging upgrades for the Galaxy S26 series while highlighting the S25’s ongoing limitations.
Charger Specs Confirmed
The charger’s box, model EP-P2900BBEGWW, sports a Qi2 25W logo and pairs with a 45W USB-C adapter for peak performance. It features a magnetic puck design with a braided cable, compatible with Qi2-ready Samsung devices, but instructions suggest a phone case is still needed for magnetic alignment on S26 models.
S26 Charging Upgrades
Galaxy S26 and S26+ are tipped for 20W wireless charging, while the S26 Ultra hits 25W— a big leap from the S25 series’ 15W cap. This aligns with rumors of broader battery improvements, though full magnets like Apple’s MagSafe remain case-dependent.
S25 Stays Behind
Current S25 phones won’t magically speed up; they’ll max at 15W on this pad despite Qi2 readiness. Samsung’s conservative approach lags rivals, but these steps signal a push toward faster wireless tech amid calls for silicon-carbon batteries.
Broader Implications
The charger arrives alongside S26 rumors like 60W wired potential on Ultra, prioritizing efficiency over slimness. It’s a welcome evolution, bridging Samsung closer to competitors in battery focus.
