Samsung's latest leak surrounding its Qi2 battery bank has stirred excitement, particularly due to its innovative design tailored for the Galaxy S26 camera bump. This revelation not only highlights a fresh accessory for Samsung's flagship series but also hints at significant advancements in phone compatibility.
Recently, additional images have surfaced that provide a closer look at this Qi2 battery bank, reinforcing previous rumors about its development. Back in December, a listing teased a magnetic Qi2 battery pack, suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy S26 series smartphones will finally incorporate native Qi2 magnets—a feature many enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating.
According to WinFuture, these newly unveiled images depict the battery's design more intricately. The battery seems to sport a frame made from either plastic or painted metal and includes a convenient kickstand, echoing similar Qi2 batteries we examined earlier with the Pixel 10 series. Additionally, there’s a USB-C port located on the right side of the device, accompanied by a color-matched USB-C cable that is likely included within the packaging. Notably, this power bank boasts a robust 15W output and a capacity of 5,000 mAh.
What sets this battery bank apart from others on the market is its unique design, specifically engineered to accommodate the camera bump found on Galaxy phones. As visible in the latest images, the upper section of the power bank features a cutout, ensuring ample space for the protruding camera, which is expected to be even more pronounced in the forthcoming Galaxy S26 series. This design consideration addresses a common issue faced by Galaxy users with existing magnetic battery banks, where the charging coil is too close to the camera, often resulting in misalignment or even obstruction of the camera lens itself.
For those interested in more about Samsung's latest developments:

* In other news, Samsung has retracted its announcement regarding the Bixby reboot, although a new release date has been confirmed.
* Furthermore, Samsung’s ‘Home Up’ feature has received a significant update in One UI 8.5, enhancing its functionality.
