Samsung faces backlash over missing features in upcoming Galaxy S25 launch

In Finland, new information has emerged highlighting some potential shortcomings of the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which encompasses the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models. With a planned launch event during late January 2025, anticipation for these devices is growing. The carrier's website lists various memory and storage options, along with cases that feature a magnetic attachment. This suggests that while some design elements might align with Qi2 standards, there may be a lack of necessary magnets in the base S25 design, limiting its compatibility with Qi2 accessories. The S24 series reportedly already met the minimum charging rate of 15W, indicating that some foundational features might carry over to the new models, but there is concern that full connectivity with Qi2 could be missed. Although the series aims to maintain a competitive edge with its standard charging capabilities, the omission of certain Qi2 features could lead to disappointment among consumers expecting a fully compatible device. This situation could ultimately impact consumer reception at launch, possibly affecting sales and overall brand perception for Samsung's new flagship series.
