Qi2 was announced two years ago as a faster and more efficient wireless charging standard, offering up to 15W charging power with magnetic rings. Apple has been the only major phone manufacturer to implement the technology with its MagSafe wireless chargers so far.

The Wireless Power Consortium announced at CES on Monday that more Android devices will use the MagSafe-based Qi2 charging standard in 2025. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll all have magnets, though;

Qi2 wireless charging, with magnetic alignment and faster speeds, is set to revolutionize Android devices, starting with Samsung and Google.

Android phones may soon catch up to iPhones in wireless charging, with a new standard that promises faster, more reliable charging starting in 2025.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has confirmed that Qi2 wireless charging is coming to Android, with Samsung and Google leading the way.

It's been two years since the Qi2 standard was first announced, and we're finally starting to see some movement on the hardware front. At CES 2025, the Wireless Power Consortium revealed that Qi2 is officially coming to Samsung Galaxy devices this year.
