Which is more important to you, choice wisely because as of now you can't have both!

Choice number one, Samsung puts magnets enabling Magesafe and all of its benefits without the need for a case. The rub, you lose reverse wireless charging.

Choice number two, buy a case and keep reverse wireless charging !

I know my choice, I want the best of both worlds. 
I want to be able to charge my phone, buds , ring case or watch at the same time should the need arise.

I only use magsafe accessories. I will not use magsafe charging. I don't like my phone to be over 100⁰ while charging for a long period of time. It's really bad for battery health long term.

I've been using a basic case that has a metal ring adapter (from my grip/stand ring that is initially made for iPhones). As a result, I've also been using only a magsafe charger with my phone that is only Qi capable by itself without a case. So far, I've had no issue of my phone getting too hot while wireless charging at Fast Charging speeds. It has never gotten hotter than an app intense session or a wired charging at Super Fast Charging speeds. I think having the adapter ring (which is simply a self-adhesive thin metal ring) near perfectly centered in relation to the phone was the key. I think other people have also noticed this as I have lately started to find cases on the market for my phone model that have an embedded magsafe adapter ring as a feature. Of those, very few seem to use magnets instead of a metal ring.

Same here, but I also keep my house cold, only time my heat is on is if the girlfriend turns it on but she doesn't go above 64

Magnets all day, personally.

I use magnetic accessories every day, multiple times a day, and hate the bulk of cases. I would love to use something like a skin or bumper case but I depend too heavily on magsafe accessories.

I can count on one hand the amount of times I've used reverse wireless charging. I carry Buds FE, which don't support wireless charging, and they removed that ability with the GW7+, so I'm not sure I'd ever miss it tbh.

I have used it for my buds 3 pro, watch 6 classic, in a pinch. Never use wireless charging. It is inefficient, not green charging. It's not the individual, its the billion of wireless chargers that are wasting electricity. They are always on.

I would venture to guess that efficiency is not the primary concern for users who prefer wireless charging

Super fast wired charging + multi day battery life is the ideal, imo

Let's see if they cheap out and only do Qi 2.0 and not Qi 2.2 like I have on my Pixel 10ProXl. My Pixel also has a proper clock that is not dimmed to not being able to see it in a dark room like on the 24 Ultras and above. Can be in landscape or portrait. Samsung AOD is kinda terrible on a charging stand.
