Building on the success of its Qi standard, WPC announced the Qi2 standard in late 2023. Qi2 was a leap forward in speed, energy efficiency, and convenience. Launched late 2023, within its first year in market Qi2 was already enabled on over 1.5 billion wireless devices across the globe.
And now, Qi2 has taken another leap forward with the introduction of the Qi2 25W standard for even faster, more energy efficient charging.
Life happens quickly. And so does charging on a Qi2 Certified charger. Qi2 delivers up to 15W of power for smooth, quick charging. And now with Qi2 25W, charging is faster than ever. In fact, Qi2 25W has been tested to charge a smartphone battery from 0% to 50% charge in about 30 minutes.
Qi2 and Qi2 25W use a magnetic attachment to create a perfect alignment between a phone and a charger. This means more efficient charging with less energy loss and no more having to hunt for the ‘charging sweet spot’. Qi2 finds it for you every time.
Charging cords wear out. Wireless chargers don’t, which means less electronic waste goes to landfill.
Certification testing for new Qi2 25W devices began in July. Qi2 25W products- including iOS and Android phones – will begin appearing at retail and online by late summer or fall of 2025. Make sure your Qi2 or Qi2 25W product is certified. Check on the Certified Product Database.
We’re always working to improve and update the Qi standard. Qi2 and Qi2 25W are good examples of how our goals are put into action.
