Samsung has put the Wireless Charger Trio back in the spotlight, and the timing makes it look a little dated on arrival. The Samsung Wireless Charger Trio costs $90, charges two Qi devices plus a Galaxy Watch, and still behaves like a product from around 2020 rather than something built for the magnetic, better-aligned world of Qi2.
What Samsung is selling for $90
The refreshed listing on Samsung.com describes the Wireless Charger Trio as a new release, even though the hardware itself appears unchanged. It has two charging pads for phones or earbuds and a dedicated spot for a Galaxy Watch, and Samsung says it works with Galaxy phones as well as other Qi-compatible devices.
That setup still sounds practical on paper. In reality, a trio charger is only as good as the alignment and wattage behind it, and this one maxes out at 15W on Samsung phones while dropping to 7.5W for other devices.
Why Qi2 would help the Samsung Wireless Charger Trio
This is the sort of accessory that practically asks for Qi2 magnets. Samsung’s own user reviews point to the same old wireless-charging annoyance: place the phone a little off-center and you may as well be feeding it hope instead of power. The listing’s 2.6-star average is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the old-school approach.
There’s also a more modern wrinkle. Some buyers say newer Galaxy Ultra models do not sit flush because of the camera bump, which is a reminder that phone design has moved on faster than this charger has. Other brands have already figured out how to make the watch-charging part less of a special case, so Samsung is not even winning the accessories race on convenience anymore.
The awkward state of Galaxy wireless charging
Samsung still refuses to put Qi2 magnets inside its phones, which leaves the whole ecosystem in an awkward middle ground. Galaxy owners can buy a charger like this, but they still have to line everything up manually and hope the phone, earbuds, and watch all cooperate.
That makes the Wireless Charger Trio a hard sell in 2026, even if the idea is sensible. The market has moved toward easier magnetic alignment, faster charging, and fewer compromises, while Samsung is effectively re-promoting a familiar accessory and calling it new. The appeal is the same as it was years ago; the patience of buyers is probably not.
If Samsung eventually decides Qi2 is worth embracing, products like this get an instant facelift. If it does not, the Wireless Charger Trio may keep returning as a reminder that wireless charging without magnetic alignment is still, somehow, a mildly annoying science project.
