Speaking of potential big disappointments, there you go.

And I'm not talking about what my mom said before I was born.

The Samsung Galaxy S26, there's a report that it will not have Qi2.

I'm doubling down because I got nothing to lose at this point.

So Ben Shun at 9 to 5 Google did an article and what happened is there's leak of some S26 cases.

Now the issue with these cases is there's two versions of them.

One with a magnetic ring, one without a magnetic ring.

And when you have magnets in the back of a phone, they work really well to connect to a ring.

But when you have a case now in between that magnetic connection without another ring, adding additional magnets to keep the strength, you're losing kind of the features of the ring.

So, so we're kind of looking at this case with no ring as the writing on the wall of there's probably no magnets inside.

You know if Samsung liked this phone, they should have put a ring on it.

Now, now Google is gonna have all these ads that are like we've had magnets for two years.

I have all these like theories and like I'm working on a video idea now about, we were talking about silicon carbon batteries before about how we've seen this divide of some companies just going for it with silicon carbon batteries and some standing on the sidelines and not jumping in.

Samsung is staying on the sidelines but Samsung isn't doing anything with their main flagships which is, I get it.

Actually it kind of really interesting and we'll get to that maybe in a little bit.

But it's like the, the design itself has been unchanged for the past like four or five years now.

And that's not that there's anything wrong with the design but you kind of start to wonder are they gonna improve anything?

Like the cameras haven't gotten much better.

The chip just gets the normal spec bump every year.

The batteries have been almost the same size every year it's been four or five years since we've gotten a real meaningful change to these phones and I don't think they're gonna do it.

And this was an opportunity to do something to give people with 3 year old s23s a reason to upgrade and I just, they just skipped it.

I think they're just leaning into less towards consumers and more towards just like biz, like business phones and just being able to like ship the default of everything.

And it's not a great path to go down to continue doing it.

It feels like the way to get forgotten really easily.

But when you're trying to be the default.

But I guess it depends because people buy Android phones besides the enthusiasts.

Do people just want reliable same or do they want.

Yeah, I guess but like that's what's, that's.

That's us enthusiasts talking and then regular people just buying the same thing over and over anyway.

I feel like Motorola and LG kind of were doing that and then Samsung kept being like we're flashy, look at us.

And kind of took that share over and then became the default and now they're coasting.

Cause LG was already scared at that point.

They did like have a gimmick on every phone that they sold though.

Which is, I mean that was the thing at the time for Android phones.

So you can't really doubt them blame for them for that.

This one though, like adding magnets to the back.

So we've, we've heard how like maybe Silicon Carbon is.

Like they're maybe still testing this out.

A couple magnets on the back to ensure better like charging and give you some accessories seems like the safest bet in the world.

I want to know what the potential downside other than profit margins is on like I can't see it.

Also because Samsung phones are like the phone that you switch to from an iPhone.

Like you would want to have all of the available features.

People who have tons of MagSafe accessories, just give them the magnets.

I've only really heard of people switching to pixels from iPhone because I think you need a lot of pull if you're going to switch from the iPhone.

And the Pixel is the only thing that has like a lot of interesting fun things that might actually make you think about it.

But the way it gets switched from an iPhone isn't.

It's Apple did something I really don't like.

Cause I'm anti Apple going to switch to what the default is.

Or Samsung was like, we can make more money if we sell you a case with a magnet in it.

I bet their real excuse is 99% of people use case and the case is gonna have the magnet in if you really want it anyways.

And G2 ready probably costs less licensing than G2.

Do you still need licensing from the same to be able to.

Because you sell hundreds of millions of units and then a penny becomes $100 million.

I wonder how long ago this phone was just made already.
