Samsung Announces Plans to Support MagSafe-Based Qi2 Wireless Charging in 2025

Samsung's adoption of the Qi2 standard, already used by Apple, is expected to expand cross-platform compatibility and drive accessory innovation.

Samsung confirmed plans to integrate the Qi2 wireless charging standard into its Galaxy devices starting in 2025, potentially debuting with the rumored Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Qi2, based on Apple's MagSafe technology, uses magnets for precise alignment and supports faster charging up to 15W.
Accessory makers are unveiling Qi2-compatible products at CES 2025, signaling growing industry support for the standard.
Google also announced its commitment to Qi2 and its contribution to the development of the upcoming Qi v2.2 standard, though it has not confirmed Qi2 support for its Pixel devices.
The Wireless Power Consortium introduced a 'Qi2 Ready' certification for devices requiring cases to enable magnetic alignment, further broadening compatibility options.
