If you’ve been waiting for Samsung to finally commit to magnetic accessories, stop holding your breath. New case leaks make it pretty clear the Galaxy S26 lineup is going all-in on MagSafe-style attachments.
Evan Blass, who rarely misses, just dropped renders of the S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra wrapped in UAG cases. The images show visible magnet rings baked into the back of each phone. He also shared a shot of what looks like the S26 Ultra with a screen protector already applied.
The camera layouts aren’t surprising. The standard S26 and S26 Plus share the same triple-camera bump, while the Ultra gets four lenses plus what’s probably a laser autofocus sensor. The real story is those magnetic rings, which showed up in multiple case leaks today.
Another tipster posted what appear to be official Samsung cases for the S26 Ultra, and they follow the same pattern. Yesterday, Kindsuit cases surfaced online with magnetic backing and packaging that explicitly mentions magnetic compatibility.
This isn’t just about cases. A 25W magnetic wireless charger from Samsung appeared online this week, likely timed for launch alongside the S26 series. It’s a clear signal that Samsung is building an ecosystem around magnetic attachment, not just testing the waters.
For users tired of fumbling with alignment on wireless chargers or wanting quick-swap accessories, this matters. The S26 won’t just support magnets as an afterthought. It’s designed around them.
