While introducing the new Galaxy S24 series, Samsung made a surprising decision as the company does not support the new Qi2 standard. One possible reason for this: the flagship model Galaxy S24 Ultra is having issues with magnets like MagSafe.
Magnets interfere with the S-Pen
Using cases with built-in magnets, inspired by Apple’s MagSafe system, has become increasingly popular among Android users. Such cases should usually work without major restrictions, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra has certain issues. In a video posted by Brandon Lee on his YouTube channel This Is Tech Today, it is clear that the device’s stylus function is compromised when attached to a MagSafe-compatible accessory case.
Seems to be the main problem Interaction with S Pen of Galaxy S24 Ultra. When a MagSafe accessory is attached, the device’s display does not correctly detect pen input. Had this problem with Galaxy S23 Ultra (Test) Unavailable phone case manufacturers are currently working on solutions to address this issue.
A possible cause is a digitizer error
The exact reason is not known. A possible explanation could be that the magnetic connection between the case and the accessories affects the display digitizer or Electromagnetic resonance field The S Pen is boring. The digitizer creates an electromagnetic field across the surface of the screen. When the S Pen is brought closer to the screen, it interacts with this field. This interaction is captured by the digitizer, which can accurately determine the pen’s position, angle, and pressure.
It is not yet clear if this problem occurs with all third-party magnetic fields. Hopefully there will be a solution to the problem in the near future, especially since the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, which can also be used with the S Pen. Wireless-charging-standard Qi2 Compared to Qi, Qi2 uses Apple’s MagSafe as a model, capturing the magnetic ring around the induction charging coil.
