What Are The Key Features of The New WPC Qi2 25W Standard?

The Qi2 charging system relies on Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) technology to dynamically adjust levels between the device and the charger. This way, faster charging for smart devices can be achieved with better temperature control. While the earlier Qi standard offered limited wireless charging support of 15 Watts, the present Qi2 standard goes up to 25 Watts.

Improved Support for Android and iPhone Devices

This new Qi2 standard, which is based on Apple's MagSafe technology, is perfectly compatible with the iPhone 12 and later devices. At the same time, multiple Android manufacturers are developing devices according to Qi2, like Samsung, OnePlus, Google Pixel, etc.

What Should You Expect from Qi2?

Quick charging: 25-watt wireless charging provides the battery with an extra short time of charging time.

Wider range of compatibility: Charge any iPhone or Android device with any Qi2-certified charger.

Safe for efficient energy use: Energizing by reducing heat is a great way to promote battery retention.

Constructed to conserve natural resources: Progressive technology with power efficiency minimizes energy loss.
