5 Ways to Get the Most Out of the Galaxy S25 Edge MagSafe-like Feature

MagSafe is Apple’s magnetic technology that debuted with the iPhone 12. It uses a ring of magnets around the wireless charging coil to align chargers and accessories. Android manufacturers, especially Samsung, had lagged behind until now. The Galaxy S25 Edge, along with the rise of Qi2, changes that.

Qi2 is the next-gen wireless charging standard from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), announced in 2023 and finalized for consumer use in 2024. It borrows heavily from Apple’s MagSafe spec, as Apple contributed to the standard. Qi2 introduces the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), which ensures consistent magnetic alignment between devices and chargers, essential for accessories and efficient charging.

Now that Android phones like the Galaxy S25 Edge are Qi2 ready, users can enjoy a MagSafe-like experience without switching ecosystems.

Getting the most out of your Galaxy S25 Edge’s magnetic capability involves more than just buying a new phone. You’ll need the right gear, proper alignment, and a few tweaks to make full use of its new magnetic system.

Here are five ways to do that.

A Qi2-compatible case has a built-in magnetic ring that aligns with the magnetic coil on the back of your Galaxy S25 Edge. This magnetic ring ensures your phone connects properly with MagSafe-like chargers and accessories.

The Galaxy S25 Edge doesn’t have magnets built into the body itself like iPhones do. Instead, it relies on compatible cases to deliver the magnetic functionality. A Qi2-compatible case is what makes magnetic attachment and reliable charging possible. Without it, you’ll miss out on nearly all the benefits of MagSafe-like features.

Key features to look for:

• Clearly labeled “Qi2 Ready” or “MagSafe-Compatible”

• Built-in magnetic ring positioned for S25 Edge’s charging coil

• Slim enough to avoid interfering with charging or magnet strength

• Compatibility with wireless fast charging (15W or more)

We, at ThinBorne, have already launched Qi2-ready cases tailored for Samsung’s new lineup.

According to WPC, over 350 Qi2-certified products are expected in 2025, making now the right time to switch.

With many things to love about the S25 Edge, one standout is how it finally brings magnetic charging into the Android mainstream.

A MagSafe charger is a magnetic wireless charging pad that locks onto the back of your device to deliver power efficiently and securely. These chargers use magnets to keep the phone and pad in perfect alignment, minimizing energy loss.

Magnetic chargers help reduce charging errors. Magnetic alignment can improve wireless charging consistency by up to 40%, compared to regular Qi pads. When combined with a Qi2-compatible case, you get both form and function—charging speeds up to 15W, fewer disconnections, and an overall neater setup.

Here are the steps to use MagSafe chargers:

• Snap the charger onto the back of your phone where the magnetic ring is located

• Ensure the charger is connected to a 20W+ USB-C power adapter

• The phone should begin charging instantly without needing perfect manual placement

Samsung’s official Galaxy MagFit charger, Anker’s Qi2 magnetic pad, and Belkin’s BoostCharge series are good choices that follow the Qi2 protocol.

MagSafe accessories are a category of products that use magnets to attach to your phone or case. These include power banks, car mounts, wallets, and even gaming grips.

These magnetic accessories bring a level of modularity and ease to everyday phone use. You can snap on a wallet before heading out, attach a stand during video calls, or mount the phone in your car—all without extra clips or cases.

Here are some great examples:

Magnetic charging and accessories depend heavily on precise alignment. If your magnetic ring is even slightly off-center, you could get slower charging speeds or disconnections.

Proper alignment ensures maximum charging efficiency. Qi2 chargers are smart. They’ll detect misalignment and reduce the power output to prevent overheating or damage.

Inconsistent positioning can reduce charging speed by up to 30%, according to a previous test from PhoneArena.

For efficient magnetic charging on your S25 Edge:

• Use Qi2-certified accessories that match your phone’s specs

• Avoid stacking cards or metal between the phone and charger

• Line up the magnetic ring of the case with the charger center point

Some cases now come with visual alignment guides or audible “click” feedback when properly attached.

Magnetic wallets and stands clip onto your phone or case magnetically, letting you carry essentials or prop up your phone effortlessly.

Wallets mean one less item to carry. Magnetic stands turn your phone into a mini workstation, perfect for video calls or watching content on the go. Many stands also double as grips, giving you a firmer hold on the large 6.8” S25 Edge.

To use a magnetic wallet or stand:

• Simply snap the wallet or stand onto the magnetic back of your phone

• Most attach securely enough to resist shaking or casual drops

• Many stands now support both portrait and landscape viewing

Look for products that advertise “strong magnetic hold” and compatibility with Qi2 or Galaxy S25 Edge cases. Some wallets even support Find My tracking if you’re using cross-platform gear.
