The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has launched Qi2, a new wireless charging standard, offering faster 25W charging. A key feature is its adoption by major Android smartphone manufacturers alongside iPhones. Qi2 aims to improve charging efficiency and interoperability across devices. While Qi2 includes a magnetic attachment system similar to Apple's MagSafe, it remains unclear if all Android implementations will fully utilize this magnetic functionality. The WPC anticipates Qi2 will become the industry standard for wireless charging, providing a more consistent and faster charging experience for consumers.
