The Qi2 standard has struggled to gain traction among Android devices but reports mentioned that it may make an appearance in the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. However, recent activities suggest that this might not be the case as Samsung is likely to focus on enhancing its wireless charging capabilities instead.
Qi2 presents people with different benefits and one of the most highlighted additions is the magnetic ring that helps in device alignment along with accessory attachment. This feature is like the MagSafe technology of Apple found in iPhones as both these features work on the same principle.
Initially, Samsung was expected to be the first major Android manufacturer which adopt the Qi2 standard with the Galaxy S25 series, still, a recent accessory leak has cast doubt on this expectation. Further leaked reports have focused on the notion that the Galaxy S25 series may not support Qi2 natively.
As per a tweet, Samsung has plans to implement Qi2 in the Galaxy S25 series but only through a dedicated case, this claim has been corroborated by Max Jambor who is a trusted source for Samsung-related information.
The report also disclosed that Samsung intends to boost its wireless charging speeds in the Galaxy S25 series which increases the maximum from the current 15W to an impressive 25QW. This new development will make the Galaxy S25 similar to the latest Apple devices.
While the concept of using Qi2 without magnets is realistic, it is evident that the Galaxy Ring which has achieved 25W speeds is not yet part of the standard. It is still not clear how Apple is planning to achieve these 25W speeds but it is not common for companies to alter the Qi standard for their devices and accessories.
Even though there have been no proper announcements and the majority of the specifications are still unclear, experts are hoping that more information will be provided near the launch date of the Galaxy S25 in January.
