QI2 25W wireless charging comes to iPhone and “major Android smartphones”

The latest version of the QI2 wireless standard Coming to iPhone and some Android devices. It has also received a new qi2 25W brand, indicating wireless charging speed, which is better than the previous name of Qi2.2.

The big hook here is correct in the name. QI2 provides up to 25 watts of energy delivery to compatible products, which is a 66 percent increase from the pre -existing QI2 platform. “The rapid and effective radio for Qi2 25W will encourage the increased penetration of the use of wireless charging and accelerating the adoption of the new standard,” says Paul Strishker, Executive Director of the Wireless Authority (WPC).

The latest iPhone already uses the QI2 standard, so the next QI2 25W adoption is not a surprise, although it is welcome news. However, most Android phones It was not approved by Qi2So this is likely to change the game for the platform. Some Android phones can integrate QI2 technically, but usually It requires a dedicated magnetic condition Some kind.

Smartphones are just a newer category for Qi2 25W accreditation. Many products, including energy and shipping banks, It was approved earlier this month. QI2 25W was announced, when it was called qi2.2, for the first time in April. WPC says that there are “several hundreds” devices in the waiting list waiting for their testing and an official certificate. We still don’t know any Android phones on the waiting list.
