Samsung Launches Qi2 Magnetic Puck and Car Chargers in the U.S.

Full magnetic alignment with 25W charging requires a Qi2-certified case plus a 25W adapter.

Overview

  • The Single Wireless Charger costs $34.99 and the Car Wireless Charger costs $84.99, both available now on Samsung’s U.S. online store.
  • The puck supports up to 25W with a compatible wall adapter, the car model offers Qi2 magnetic mounting with 360-degree rotation and is rated at 15W, and both work with any Qi2-supported phone.
  • Current Galaxy flagships lack built-in Qi2 magnets, so Samsung lists a Qi2-certified magnetic case and a separate 25W power adapter as requirements for full functionality.
  • The car charger includes a 12V adapter and USB-C cable, uses strong magnets for secure mounting, and features design elements intended to limit heat during vehicle charging.
  • Industry coverage frames the launch as a possible precursor to native Qi2 support on future Galaxy models such as the rumored S26, which remains unconfirmed.
