The Samsung Galaxy S25: Bringing Qi2 Wireless Charging to the Forefront

Rumors Suggest a Magnetic Boost for Samsung’s Flagship

It’s been whispered that the Samsung Galaxy S25 is set to feature an attractive new addition – Qi2 wireless charging. According to trusted Samsung insider Ice Universe, the forthcoming flagship smartphone refresh will indeed support this second-generation wireless charging standard. While confirmation came through a private Weibo post, @Jukanlosreve later verified the information on X (formerly Twitter).

A Promising Development for Wireless Charging Enthusiasts

As news of this rumored feature spreads, fans of wireless charging technology are no doubt thrilled. Qi2’s Extended Power Profile (EPP) allows devices to charge without the magnetic attachment, but it’s likely that most Qi2 devices, especially phones, will opt for the full magnetic experience.

A Look at Qi2’s Current Landscape

So far, the list of phones supporting Qi2 is relatively small. Besides iPhones, only the HMD Skyline has been confirmed to have Qi2 capabilities. This is surprising, given that Qi2 was announced back in January 2023. Apple played a significant role in creating Qi2, building upon its MagSafe technology introduced with the iPhone 12 range in 2020.

What Does Qi2 Mean for Wireless Charging?

Qi2’s key attribute is its ability to magnetically attach to the back of a phone, ensuring proper alignment for efficient and reliable charging. This technology can spin standard Qi2 into non-Apple phones, making it a lucrative opportunity for the accessory market. As Apple has demonstrated with MagSafe, magnetic attachment can boost sales of phone cases, wallets, and other sticky peripherals.

What’s Next for Qi2?

With Samsung on board, it seems that 2025 will be the year of Qi2. This development could lead to a surge in wireless charging adoption, making it a must-have feature in future smartphones. As more devices integrate Qi2, we can expect to see a proliferation of magnetic chargers and accessories, changing the wireless charging landscape forever.
