Samsung Considers Eliminating The Wired Charger In Galaxy Phones. See What The Official Research Says About The Future Of Wireless Charging And The Brand’s New Magnetic Standard.
Samsung is flirting with a change that could completely transform the way we charge our Galaxy smartphones. According to an internal survey from the brand, revealed by the SamsungGuru portal, the Korean company is exploring the possibility of eliminating wired charging in future models of the Galaxy line. The proposal includes a new magnetic charging system similar to Apple’s MagSafe, and raises the possibility of phones that exclusively support wireless charging.
The questionnaire sent to consumers directly addresses the idea of abandoning physical charging ports and adopting magnets on the backs of devices, even asking whether users would be willing to accept a thicker phone to facilitate the technology.
Galaxy Without A Charging Port? The Future May Be Closer Than It Seems
The survey does not confirm a specific model, but suggests that Samsung is seriously considering launching a Galaxy smartphone that will not have a wired charging port. In other words: a phone 100% without cables. While this sounds radical, it wouldn’t be the brand’s first major change — it’s worth noting that the charger in the box has already been omitted in flagship models since the Galaxy S21.

Now, with advancements in inductive charging, this transition may technically be feasible — and, it seems, already in the validation phase with the public.
Magnetic Charging: Samsung’s Plan To Replace The Cable
At the core of the proposal is the idea of a magnetic connector on the back of the phone, capable of precisely aligning the smartphone’s charging coil with the charging base.
The model resembles Apple’s MagSafe technology, which uses magnets to secure chargers and accessories like cases, external batteries, and mounts.
The difference is that Samsung may take a step further, completely removing the USB-C port — which would impact not only charging but also the connection with wired headphones, USB drives, and external accessories.
This change could also benefit water and dust resistance, as the absence of physical ports reduces vulnerable entry points.
What Is Inductive Charging (And Why Doesn’t Every Phone Have It)
Wireless charging, or inductive charging, is not new — but it still raises questions. It is based on a physical principle discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831: electromagnetic induction. In practice, a magnetic field generated by a coil in the charging base induces electrical current in a similar coil inside the phone.
This system relies on precise alignment and proximity between the coils (usually up to 1 cm). That’s why magnetic chargers make so much sense: magnets ensure ideal positioning, increasing energy transfer efficiency and reducing losses.
Most compatible smartphones follow the Qi standard, adopted globally. Samsung, in fact, already offers support for this technology across the entire Galaxy S and Z line, as well as in some more advanced Galaxy A and M models.
But What About Charging Speed?
Currently, wired chargers are still unbeatable in speed. Models like the Galaxy S24+ support up to 45W via cable, while wireless charging typically limits to 15W to 25W. This means that, for now, inductive charging still takes longer to deliver a full charge.
However, with advancements in technologies like fast inductive charging and active cooling in charging bases, it is possible that this difference may begin to narrow in the coming years. Additionally, Samsung’s proposal suggests that users may be more willing to accept slightly slower charging as long as it is more convenient and elegant.
Which Models Might Lose The Wired Charger?
There is no official confirmation yet, but it is likely that this change will start with the flagship models, such as the Galaxy S25 series or Galaxy Z Fold6/Fold7. These are devices with users more inclined to adopt technological novelties and have enough internal space to accommodate larger coils and magnetic systems.
This strategy would also allow Samsung to create a new ecosystem of compatible accessories, including magnetic bases, vehicle mounts, attachable power banks, and smart cases.
Mid-range models, such as the Galaxy A55 or Galaxy M55, are likely to keep the wired charger for longer, ensuring accessibility and compatibility with traditional users.
What Do Consumers Think Of The Idea?
According to the research released, Samsung is testing public acceptance of the idea. Among the key points questioned are:
- Would you accept a thicker phone for magnetic charging?
- Would you give up wired charging?
- Would you use magnetic accessories if they were faster and more convenient?
These questions indicate that the brand is measuring not only the technical impact but also the emotional and practical aspects of the change.
Is The End Of The Cable Near?
It’s still not possible to set a date, but Samsung’s movements point towards a future where cables could become a thing of the past — at least in the more advanced models. The brand wants to know: are consumers ready to take this step?
With the maturity of wireless charging, the advancement of the Qi2 standard (faster and more efficient), and the trend towards cleaner and more durable design, the answer may be yes — and sooner than we think.
