Qi2 wireless charging is the new global standard that combines Apple’s MagSafe magnetic alignment with open-source compatibility. It offers faster, safer, and more energy-efficient charging for both Android and iOS devices. Supported by big brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and OnePlus, Qi2 is more than just an upgrade. It's a major step forward in smart technology.
Qi2 (pronounced "chee-two") is the newest version of the Qi wireless charging system, made by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). But this is not just a small update. Qi2 adds magnetic alignment, which is the same idea that Apple uses in MagSafe. The main goal is to make charging easier and better for all devices, whether you use a Google Pixel 10, a OnePlus 12, or the new Samsung Galaxy S25 series.
For a long time, Android phones had wireless charging, but many users faced problems like slow charging, heating, and trouble placing the phone correctly on the charger. Apple fixed some of these problems with MagSafe, but it only works with iPhones. Qi2 brings this magnetic charging feature to everyone. Now it is not about which brand is better, but about making charging work well for all devices.
According to WPC, Qi2 wireless charging will work with both iPhones and Android phones. This means you can use one magnetic charger to charge your VIVO iQOO 15, your Infinix Note 40 Pro+, or even your new wireless earbuds without needing many cables.
If you think Qi2 is just a rebrand or marketing trick, you’re wrong. The real change is its new Magnetic Power Profile (MPP). It’s based on Apple’s MagSafe but made even better so that both Android and iPhone users can enjoy it.
Qi2 uses magnets to perfectly align your phone with the charger. This helps transfer energy more efficiently and reduces the chance of overheating, which was a common problem with older wireless chargers.
Right now, Qi2 supports up to 15W charging. But the Wireless Power Consortium is already working on an upgrade to allow up to 25W charging. Upcoming phones like the Google Pixel 10 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra are expected to support this faster speed.
Thanks to the magnets, energy doesn’t get wasted as heat. Qi2 is up to 25% more efficient than older wireless charging systems.
Big brands like Apple, Anker, Belkin, and even companies like VIVO and Infinix are already using Qi2. Unlike MagSafe, which mostly worked with iPhones, Qi2 is being used in a wide range of devices including foldable phones, earbuds, and smartwatches.
Qi2 supports two-way communication. This means your phone and charger can talk to each other. The charger can adjust power based on your battery’s temperature, how much you’re using the phone, or which apps are running. Phones with on-device AI are already using this feature to manage charging better.
Experts say Qi2.2 is already being developed. It might even bring faster charging up to 30W and could be used with desktop accessories. What started as a simple upgrade is now becoming a major change in how we charge our gadgets.
Some exciting tech leaks in July 2025 showed that many top smartphone brands are now adding Qi2 wireless charging to their new phones.
Google Pixel 10: This phone is expected to come with full Qi2 support and a better battery management system.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Series: Rumors say it will include dual-coil Qi2 chargers, which means users can charge their phones both vertically and horizontally using magnets.
OnePlus 12 Ultra: Early test models show it will have a magnetic ring setup like Apple’s MagSafe, but based on an open standard that anyone can use.
VIVO iQOO 15 and Infinix Note 40 Pro+: These budget-friendly phones are also joining the Qi2 trend, proving that wireless charging is not just for expensive flagship smartphone models.
This trend shows that Qi2 is not just for Apple or Android. It is becoming a universal technology that works for all.
Qi2's benefits extend well beyond "faster charging." It redefines what we expect from smart technology:
Smarter Accessories: Very soon, we’ll see AI-powered magnetic chargers, car holders, and power banks that can adjust charging based on your daily use. These smart tools will make life easier.
Better User Experience: Forget the hassle of placing your phone just right on a wireless pad. With Qi2, the magnet automatically locks your phone into the perfect position, so charging is quick and smooth.
Ready for the Future: Qi2 will work with many upcoming phones. So you won’t need to worry if your next device will support it or not. It’s done for future compatibility.
In Bangladesh, where smartphone usage is rising fast, Qi2 can create a more stable and reliable wireless charging system. Whether you use an Infinix, Google Pixel, or another brand, no more struggling with low-quality chargers that don’t align properly.
The Wireless Power Consortium is not just a group for tech hobbyists. Big companies like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Google are all part of it. With support from these brands, Qi2 is set to become the main wireless charging standard for the next 10 years.
Experts say that more than 80 crore (800 million) Qi2 wireless charging-supported devices will be available by the end of 2026. This is not just a guess. Popular accessory brands like Mophie and Belkin have already launched Qi2 wireless charging docks. Even car companies are planning to add Qi2 magnetic chargers to their car infotainment systems.
This is a major upgrade, just like when USB-C became the new standard. But the good news is, with Qi2, you don’t need to plug and unplug your phone again and again. So, there’s no damage to your charging port.
Technically, no. But Qi2 is based on MagSafe's idea. Apple worked with the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to create the Magnetic Power Profile. So, future iPhones will support both Qi2 wireless charging and MagSafe charging.
The good news is that Apple now wants to use more common charging standards. This means fewer special Apple-only accessories. Over time, Qi2 wireless charging systems will replace the exclusive MagSafe system.
In simple words, you will be able to use a Qi2 charger from any brand to charge both your iPhone and Android phone safely and quickly.
Now imagine a single charging pad that can power your phone, smartwatch, earbuds, and tablet at the same time. This is now possible with the new Qi2-certified pads. Brands like Belkin and Anker launched these multi-device charging docks in mid-2025. They can charge phones like the Google Pixel 10 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series together, using magnetic alignment and special coil zones.
Companies like Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai have added new Qi2 magnetic chargers inside their car dashboards. These chargers use smart AI to adjust charging speed based on heat and driving conditions. Phones like Pixel 10, OnePlus 12, and VIVO iQOO 15 can charge quickly and safely while you drive.
Airports in Dubai and London now have Qi2-powered tables. You can charge your phone just by placing it on the table, no need to align it perfectly. Tech hubs in Bangladesh are testing these tables too. They work with phones like Infinix Note 40 Pro+ and iPhones at the same time, making public charging easier for everyone.
At CES 2025, companies showed off desks and lamps with Qi2 charging built in. These can charge phones, laptops, and other devices wirelessly. They are smart enough to give more power to the devices that need it most. So, if your OnePlus 12 has a low battery, it will charge faster than something like a smartwatch.
Brands like Razer and Logitech have introduced Qi2 magnetic chargers for gaming controllers and headphones. Even gym machines are starting to charge fitness bands directly. These smart devices know when and how to charge your wearables, making everything smoother.
Some new Qi2 chargers now come with UV-C lights that clean your phone while it charges. Belkin is planning to release one in 2026 that both charges and disinfects phones like the Galaxy S25 and Pixel series. This gives you both hygiene and convenience in one product.
Travel gear makers are now offering Qi2 power banks that have small magnetic parts. You can attach these to phones like Infinix Note 40 Pro+ or iQOO 15. They can also learn your charging habits and deliver power in a way that protects your battery over time.
This flexibility is not just an idea. At CES 2025, prototypes were shown that could charge phones from five different brands at the same time using Qi2 tables, without any need to adjust or align the devices.
You might ask: Will Qi2 wireless charging match the ultra-fast 50W wireless speeds we see on some Chinese phones?
Not yet. Right now, Qi2 supports up to 15W charging speed. It is mainly focused on safety, stable performance, and working smoothly with different brands. But the WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) is already testing higher charging speeds. And since many phones now use AI to manage heat, we may soon see Qi2 devices with 25W or even faster wireless charging.
Yes, and here’s why:
Smart Thermal Control: New technology inside the chip helps to control heat and keep your phone cool.
Magnetic Precision: The charger sticks perfectly in place, so no energy is wasted.
Verified Components: Qi2 wireless charging-supported devices are officially tested and approved for safety and performance.
As smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and OnePlus 12 get faster and more powerful, battery health becomes more important. Qi2 helps by stopping the extra heat that older wireless chargers often cause.
If you already use a Qi2-supported phone (like the iPhone 15 Pro or plan to buy the Pixel 10), you can buy the charger now. Popular brands like Anker, ESR, and Belkin have already launched Qi2 wireless charging-certified chargers.
But if your phone does not support magnetic alignment, you won’t get the full benefit. More Qi2-supported phones are coming later in 2025, so it might be smart to wait before buying a new charger.
The second generation of Qi2, probably called Qi2.5, is coming with new features:
Charging speeds of up to 30 watts or more.
Better support for foldable phones and tablets.
Built-in wireless charging for laptops and monitors.
Smart charging that uses AI to learn how you use your devices
This means in the future, your whole desk setup at home can wirelessly charge every device, from the VIVO iQOO 15 phone to your wireless keyboard.
Qi2 is not just a way to charge devices. It is the new standard for smart technology in a world that wants things to be simple, safe, and fast. Whether you are in Dhaka or San Francisco, the change to universal magnetic charging is already happening.
Supported by big companies and built with real engineering progress, Qi2 wireless charging is an upgrade you should not miss. The future of charging is magnetic, and it is coming faster than we thought.
