Wireless Android charging is getting a big upgrade with Qi2 25W

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 09:27:04

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The WPC has now formally branded its new high-speed wireless charging system as Qi2 25W. We just saw some of the first 25W-supporting accessories get their certifications. The WPC says that “major Android smartphones” will be using the standard, but we’re still waiting to hear who will be involved. Wireless charging on Android, for lack of a better word, is messy. Even though Android was early to the wireless charging party, Apple has since swooped in

Qi2 25W wireless charging is coming to iPhones and 'major Android smartphones'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-30 23:30:13

The newest version of the Qi2 wireless standard is coming to iPhones and some Android handsets. It has also received a snappy, new branding of Qi2 25W, denoting the wireless charging speed, which is miles better than the previous name of Qi2.2. The big hook here is right in the name. Qi2 25W provides up to 25 watts of power delivery to compatible products, which is a 66 percent increase over the pre-existing Qi2 platform.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has announced the official launch of faster Qi2 25W wireless charging, with the first devices already certified and “several hundred” yet to come. Most excitingly, it promises that alongside iPhone support, several “major Android smartphones” will finally be adopting the standard. We’ve known that faster Qi2 charging was coming, up from the prior 15W limit, with accessory brands including Anker, Ugreen, and Baseus securing early certification, and some even a

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority TL;DR More products have been launched with Qi2.2 certification, promising wireless charging speeds at up to 25W with compatible devices. However, very few current smartphones officially support Qi2.2, but more are coming soon. More Qi2.2-certified accessories are also expected in the run-up to the iPhone 17 series launch, which will help widen product choice and stabilize prices for this bleeding-edge tech.

Apple's MagSafe Charging Explained: Qi2, Faster Charging and Android Compatibility

Apple's MagSafe for phones has evolved quite a bit since its debut on the 2020 iPhone 12 line, bringing magnetic wireless charging from the iPhone to the AirPods. Since Apple's MagSafe is compatible with the Qi2 wireless charging standard and has proven popular, we're starting to see Samsung, Google and OnePlus provide support for similar magnetic accessories. Even better, these wireless charging accessories are cheaper now than when MagSafe debuted, with companies such as Anker and Belkin maki

Google Pixel 10 may fail to live up to our MagSafe dreams, after all

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is preparing a range of “Pixelsnap” accessories for the Pixel 10 that support wireless charging. Despite Qi2 support, the phone may require the use of a case to add the magnets needed for alignment. In addition to Google’s own accessories, look for a range of similar Made by Google solutions from third parties. What is so hard about giving Android users what they want? When it comes to wirelessly charging our phones, we’re not asking for that m

It’s been 84 years, but my dream of ‘MagSafe’ on a Pixel is almost here

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-19 05:00:32

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority I am an Android and a Pixel fan who has been heralding MagSafe as the coolest and most useful smartphone accessory improvement since sliced bread — or USB-C to stay within the metaphor. So when Qi2 was announced with a hint of MagSafe backwards compatibility, I was in nerd heaven. Finally — finally! — I’d be able to dip into a large ecosystem of accessories and use them on my Pixel phones. But Qi2’s announcement came and went, and the weeks, months, and years

Android phones that support Qi2 wireless chargers that are magnetically secured in place might finally be hitting the market. Android Authority reports that Google plans to add Qi2 charging with the upcoming Google Pixel 10. The Qi2 standard was announced at CES in 2023, and was developed with substantial contributions from Apple. The new design iterated on the Qi standard by adding magnets that would help ensure a perfect alignment, among other improvements. That magnetic alignment tech was bui

This $25 wireless charger is better than Apple's product (and comes with a long cord)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Anker MagGo Qi2 magnetic wireless charger pad is available for only $25. It's a cheap high-speed Qi2 compatible wireless charger, but well-built and features a long cord. There is no charger included with the standard option (this kit costs an additional $9). $24.99 at Amazon Recently, I've seen more and more power banks integrating wireless charging capabilities, such as the Anker MagGo Qi2.
