The short answer
Every iPhone from the iPhone 12 onwards has MagSafe, with three exceptions: the iPhone SE (3rd generation), the iPhone 16e and anything older than the 12. The iPhone 17e has MagSafe; the 16e before it didn’t.
MagSafe itself is Apple’s. On Android, the matching standard is Qi2: the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold have magnets built in, while Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S26 phones are “Qi2 Ready”, meaning they need a case with magnets to snap on.
Every iPhone, with and without MagSafe
Speeds are Apple’s figures. The newest phones only reach their top speed with a recent MagSafe Charger and a 30W or stronger adapter (Apple: How to use your MagSafe Charger).

Does the iPhone 11 have MagSafe?
No. The iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, the X, XS and XR, and the iPhone SE models have Qi wireless charging but no magnets. Apple says these phones can still charge on a MagSafe Charger, but without magnetic alignment and at different power. A MagSafe case adds a magnet ring so accessories stay put, but it doesn’t make the phone charge at MagSafe speed.
Is Samsung MagSafe?
No Samsung phone has MagSafe, and Samsung’s own spec pages don’t mention magnets. The Wireless Power Consortium, which runs the Qi standard, describes the Galaxy S25 and S26 series as “Qi2 Ready”: they have no magnets inside and get the snap-on experience once paired with an approved magnetic case (WPC).
Apple’s MagSafe chargers are Qi-compatible, so a Galaxy phone can charge on one, but it won’t snap into place without magnets in the case.
Does Google Pixel have MagSafe?
Not under that name. Google’s Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and 10 Pro Fold have magnets built in for Qi2, which Google calls Pixelsnap. The Pixel 10a and the Pixel 9 series, including the Pixel 7 and 8 before them, charge wirelessly without magnets.
| Phone | Magnets | Wireless standard |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel 10 Pro XL | Built in (Pixelsnap, Qi2) | Qi2 |
| Pixel 10 Pro | Built in (Pixelsnap, Qi2) | Qi2 |
| Pixel 10 | Built in (Pixelsnap, Qi2) | Qi2 |
| Pixel 10 Pro Fold | Built in (Pixelsnap, Qi2) | Qi2 |
| Pixel 10a | No magnets | Qi |
| Pixel 9 Pro XL | No magnets | Qi |
| Pixel 9 Pro | No magnets | Qi |
| Pixel 9 | No magnets | Qi |
| Pixel 9a | No magnets | Qi |

Do you need a MagSafe case?
On an iPhone with MagSafe, only if you want the magnets to keep working through the case. Apple describes MagSafe chargers snapping “to the back of iPhone or its MagSafe case or sleeve”. A regular case adds distance, so magnetic chargers, wallets and grips hold less firmly. We cover this in do you need a MagSafe case.
Our MagSafe builds put a magnet ring in the case for iPhone. Browse MagSafe phone cases.
