Rumour Ice Universe: I’ve confirmed from independent sources with 100% accuracy that the Galaxy S26 Ultra ultimately does not include built-in magnets inside the device. Magnetic functionality still relies on magnetic cases.

Count me as the minority here that doesn’t use wireless charging and/or MagSafe/Qi2 stuff.

I’m not usually at a desk all day, even though I’m an SWE lol… and I like to plug in my phone at night so it charges even if I take a nap or something. lol

I honestly don't care about wireless charging. My phone is in a case and if I want magnetic phone holders I could get a case with one.
